Once you add your water to the Instant Pot and your ingredients to the springform pan, you’re going to release that prepping really only takes about 15 minutes or so. Besides that, the Instant Pot takes over and does all the work for you! (The combination of the sour cream and cream cheese makes the perfect creamy filling!)
Every time I tell my boys that I’m making cheesecake, I find that they’re hanging around the kitchen a lot more than what they normally do. Silly boys – don’t they know that the chef always gets the first piece?
Can I use frozen blueberries in this recipe?
I would recommend that you use fresh blueberries in this recipe as frozen tends to release a lot of extra liquid. This can cause the cheesecake to have a hard time setting up.

Notes
Make certain to use wooden utensils when stirring as the metal might have a reaction with the citrus and it also conducts heat differently.
Mixing with a low speed is better for cheesecake.
A 6 quart Instant Pot should fit a 7" springform pan.
