This marbled Instant Pot Blueberry Cheesecake is topped with a delicious blueberry compote.

Blind Baking

I always blind bake my crust for cheesecakes because I prefer a bit more crunch when eating it. You can completely skip this step if you don’t mind a softer crust for your cheesecake.

If you do choose to blind bake the crust, it’s really simple. You just pop it in the oven for 15 minutes and you’ll have a firmer crust. That’s it!

Marbled Blueberry Cheesecake

This Instant Pot Blueberry Cheesecake is really simple to make! It has a graham cracker crust and a smooth and creamy cheesecake filling.

I marbled some blueberry compote into the top of this cheesecake because I absolutely love fruit filling and fruit topping. If you don’t want the marbled cheesecake look, simply skip the step for marbling the cheesecake with a knife.

Fresh or Frozen Blueberry Compote

You can use fresh or frozen blueberries for this Instant Pot Blueberry Cheesecake. Just make sure they’re rinsed well and there are no stems when making the compote.

Make the compote by adding the blueberries to a pot, add in the sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch and allow the blueberries to reduce into a sauce.

You want to let the compote cool before marbling your cheesecake if you choose to do so. Save the rest of the compote for the next day after the cheesecake has chilled. I always warm the compote up slightly to make it easily spreadable.

Different Size Cheesecakes

What if you have an 8 qt. Instant Pot? You can still make this cheesecake with the 7 inch pan or if you would prefer you can make this recipe in an 8-inch pan.

The amount of ingredients (for the 7″) will make a slightly shorter cheesecake but it will still taste the same. If you are making the cheesecake in the 8-inch pan, you will have to adjust the time by 5 minutes.

Once cheesecake is chilled, it is safe to remove the cheesecake from the pan.
