Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Let cool completely.
Step 2
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line the bottom and sides of a 7x3-inch springform pan with parchment paper.
Step 3
Make crust: Mix crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and sugar together in a small bowl until well combined. Pat into the bottom of the prepared springform pan.
Step 4
Make cheesecake: Blend cream cheese with a hand mixer in a large bowl until completely smooth. Add sugar and vanilla; blend until just incorporated. Add eggs one at a time, mixing until just combined. Add sour cream and malted milk powder; mix until combined, about 30 seconds. Stir in smashed malted milk candy using a rubber spatula until incorporated. Pour batter into crust.
Step 5
Pour 1 cup water into the bottom of a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot). Add the trivet, with the handles folded towards the bottom. Lower the filled springform pan carefully into the cooker. Lock the lid into place.
Step 6
Choose the Manual setting. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set the timer for 35 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
Step 7
Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions for 15 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid, being careful not to let any of the condensation from the lid fall onto cheesecake; dab surface gently with a paper towel to absorb any moisture if needed. Cheesecake should jiggle slightly when shaken. Leave cheesecake inside of the pressure cooker, uncovered, for 1 hour.
Step 8
Chill cheesecake in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, before serving.
