What You’ll Need to Make the Cheesecake
Make sure you have all the right ingredients needed to prepare this sweet and wholesome treat.
-
Nilla Wafer Crumbs – Mash the Nilla Wafers down into pieces using a food processor to create the crust.
-
Butter – Melt three tablespoons of butter to mix with the cookie crumbs before pressing it into the bottom of the pan and baking the crust.
-
Strawberries – Wash your strawberries, remove the tops, and then chop them into quartered pieces.
-
Cream Cheese – Let your three packages of cream cheese sit for several minutes to soften.
-
Flour – Create a slightly thicker consistency using a bit of flour combined in the mixture with the cream cheese.
-
Limon Rumchata – A small amount of the Limon Rumchata is all you need for this recipe.
Other ingredients to use include cornstarch, heavy whipping cream, two eggs, and whipped cream. You might also want to have strawberry slices and fresh lemon slices to add on top of the cheesecake as garnish.
Do I have to use fresh strawberries for this recipe?
Yes, it’s best to use fresh strawberries. You can rinse them and then chop them into pieces before preparing your slurry with sugar and cornstarch. Of course, if you only have frozen strawberries, you can use them but you’ll need to thaw them out first and remove excess moisture using a towel.
How long does it take to prep and cook this cheesecake?
It only takes 10 minutes to prepare the ingredients for the Strawberry Limon Rumchata Cheesecake. However, it needs to cook for 50 minutes and then set for a minimum of six hours. You can also let it sit overnight if you’re not in a rush to slice into it and serve it.
How do I add the whipped topping to the cheesecake?
Place your whipped cream into a piping bag and then place a large star tip on the bag. Be sure to apply a generous amount of whipped cream around the top of the cheesecake for decorative purposes. If you don’t have a piping bag, you can use a large gallon food storage bag, adding the whipped cream before sealing it and cutting the tip off to disperse the whipped topping on the cheesecake.
Recipe Notes & Tips
-
Don’t be alarmed if your cheesecake looks undercooked. It’s normal for it to look that way when you remove it from the Instant Pot. However, do not add it back into the pot because it will set perfectly when it’s in the fridge.
-
If you’d rather use a 6-inch pan, it’s fine to do that. When using a 6-inch pan, let the cheesecake cook for an additional five minutes.
-
Avoid overmixing the cheesecake when you’re adding the eggs because then the mixture could explode in the Instant Pot, and you don’t want that to happen!
