# Directions:
01 -
Preheat oven to 175°C. Process Nilla Wafers in a food processor to obtain fine crumbs. Add melted butter and pulse until the mixture resembles wet sand.
02 -
Transfer crumbs into a greased 18 cm springform pan. Press evenly onto the base and 2.5 cm up the sides. Bake for 10 minutes until golden. Cool on a wire rack.
03 -
In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat cream cheese for 3-4 minutes until completely smooth. Gradually add sugar and flour, mixing until just combined.
04 -
Add vanilla extract and heavy cream. Mix on low speed until well incorporated, then increase to high speed for 1 minute. Scrape down the bowl to prevent lumps.
05 -
Add eggs one at a time, mixing only until the yolk disappears. Avoid over-mixing.
06 -
Pour the filling over the cooled crust. Tap the pan gently to release air bubbles. Cover pan completely with aluminium foil.
07 -
Pour 240 ml water into the inner pot of the Instant Pot. Place the trivet inside. Set the springform pan on top of the trivet. Cook on high pressure for 40 minutes. Allow pressure to release naturally.
08 -
Once safe to open, remove cheesecake and let cool to room temperature on a wire rack. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
09 -
Pulse Oreo cookies in a food processor 5-6 times for a coarse crumb. Remove half to a bowl. Add strawberry gelatin mix and whipped cream to the bowl. Mix with a fork. Pulse remaining crumbs with the strawberry mixture 2-3 more times.
10 -
Spread strawberry topping evenly over chilled cheesecake. Sprinkle strawberry crunch mixture over the top. Slice and serve.
# Notes:
01 -
For best texture, allow the cheesecake to set overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
