Our Favorite Cheesecake Supplies for the Instant Pot
- 6-inch by 3-inch Push Pan or 7-inch by 3-inch Push Pan- I recently started using a high push pan instead of a spring-form pan. In my opinion, the cheesecake looks amazing this way.
- Silicone Sling- This is an essential unless you want to make a sling out of foil every time you make a cheesecake or use a pan in the Instant Pot that needs to be lifted out.
- Large Decorating Tips- I used a decorating tip and reusable icing bag to pipe frosting onto the top of the cake. It gives the cake a prettier, more professional style.
- Reusable Decorating Bag- Do yourself a favor and invest in a nice reusable bag for decorating cakes and cupcakes. It works so much better than the disposable bags and is better for the environment. Even better, they are pretty inexpensive.
- Parchment Rounds- Pre-cut parchment rounds (and squares) are available in a variety of sizes depending on your needs. This can be a huge time-saver so you don't have to measure and cut a circle out.

Can you freeze cheesecake for later?
You can! This is one of the reasons that cheesecake is a wonderful dessert. If you've made a delicious cheesecake but just can't finish it all, just pop it in the freezer in a freezer-safe container and keep it until you're ready to enjoy it again.
Cheesecake freezes really well and it makes this treat last even longer.
Do you need to toast the pecans before adding them to the top of the caramel cheesecake?
You don't, but you could! I know for a fact that toasting pecans really does enhance the flavor of them and could create a whole new taste for this simple cheesecake recipe.
Putting your pecans in a toaster oven for a few moments and then adding them to the cheesecake is a simple way to enhance the flavor even more.
Why is my crust breaking apart in my Springform pan?
This happens and can be for a number of reasons. First, you might not have mixed together the sugar, butter, and crackers all the way. You need as much of that butter to cover cracker crumbs so that when you press it into the pan, it sticks together.
There's also the chance that you didn't press down the cracker crumbs hard enough into the pan. You might to firmly push down and do the best you can to get the crust ingredients to stick together.
You can also use a Fat Daddio's push pan, which I actually prefer to use for Instant Pot cheesecakes.
