Add the eggs one at a time and mix before adding the next. Scrape your mixer to ensure all your mixture has all combined. Pour on top of the biscuit base.
  4. I USE MY KITCHEN AID ON A LOW SETTING.
  5. Put 250 mls of water in the Instant Pot lower the cake tin into the pot using the long handle IP trivet or the small IP trivet and a long foul sling cover the tin with a silicone seal or foil
  6. Set pressure valve to seal and set manual 35 minutes cancel then 15 mins NPR chrck that there is not to much wobble if it it put it back in the pot for another 5 minutes. Remove and cool at room temperature chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours preferably overnight.
  7. I gad to use a 7 inch cake tin for the Instant Pot but you coukd use an 8 inch one in the oven. Put a container of hot water at the bottom of the oven
  8. oven cook at 180 for about 35 to 40 minutes Cheesecake should have a slight wobble in the middle, cool
  9. and chill in the fridge before removing from the cake tin.
