Cheesecake is a classic American dessert, and the keto version reflects the recent low‑carb movement that adapts traditional sweets for health‑focused diets. Using an Instant Pot makes the rich, creamy texture achievable without an oven, fitting modern convenience trends.

U.S. cheesecake varies from New York‑style dense cakes to lighter ricotta‑based versions in the Midwest. The keto version swaps sugar for stevia and uses an almond crust instead of graham crackers, keeping carbs low while preserving the classic creamy mouthfeel.

It is typically served chilled, sliced into wedges, and sometimes topped with fresh berries or a sugar‑free fruit compote. The almond crust adds a nutty crunch that pairs well with coffee or tea at brunch or dessert tables.

Cheesecake is popular for birthdays, holidays, pot‑lucks, and dinner parties. The keto version allows those following low‑carb diets to enjoy the same celebration without breaking dietary rules.

Traditional cheesecake uses graham‑cracker crust, granulated sugar, and sometimes heavy cream. This keto recipe replaces the crust with ground almonds and butter, uses a cup‑for‑cup stevia sweetener, and keeps the filling simple with cream cheese, sour cream, and eggs.

Pair it with a keto chocolate mousse, almond flour brownies, or a sugar‑free berry crumble for a complete low‑carb dessert spread.

Common errors include using too little butter in the crust (causing it to crumble), over‑whisking the batter (creating air bubbles that crack), and not allowing the cheesecake to chill long enough (resulting in a soft slice).

Pressure cooking creates gentle, even steam that sets the cheesecake without the dry heat of an oven, preventing cracks and keeping the texture ultra‑creamy while saving time.

Yes. After pressure cooking, let it cool, add the topping, then refrigerate. Store covered in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to a month. Slice portions and re‑wrap for later consumption.
