CRUST:

• Prepare the crust by placing the Oreo cookies in a food processor and process until you have fine crumbs.
• Prepare a 6″ spring form pan by spraying with nonstick spray. You can even go an extra step and add a piece of parchment paper to the bottom.
• Pour the cookie crumbs into the bottom of the pan and press down with spoon. Place the crust in the freezer until you are finished with the filling.

FILLING:

• Place the cream cheese in the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment (you can also use a hand mixer), and mix until light and fluffy. Make sure there are no lumps at all left in this part. Mix for around 3-5 minutes.
• Next, add in the sugar 1 tablespoon at a time and make sure it is all combined.
• Add in the vanilla extract and sour cream. Mix well until combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
• Finally, add in the eggs. For this step, it is important that you mix as little as possible. Add in one egg at a time and only mix long enough until the egg is completely combined into the rest of the mix.
• Pour cheesecake mix into the spring form pan and tap against the table a few times.

TOPPING:

• Now it is time to make the topping. Place the water and jam into a microwave safe bowl and microwave on high for 30 seconds. The mixture should be very thin. Place the mixture into a zip top bag and cut a small hole in one corner.
• You can get creative and put dots in a spiral along your cake or you can just make random swirls on top. Get creative!

COOKING:

• Cover the spring form with aluminum foil and seal as best as you can to keep water from getting to your cake.
• Place 1 cup of water and a trivet into the Instant Pot.
• Place the cheesecake on top of the trivet and place the lid on and make sure it is in the sealing position.
• Set for high pressure for 35 minutes. Allow for a natural release.
• Once you can take the top off, carefully remove the cheesecake and allow to cool completely on the counter, then place in the refrigerator for at least 5 hours, but best overnight.
• Serve and Enjoy!
