Found on thecentsableshoppin.com

Ingredients

• 2 Eggs, room temperature
• 1/2 C. Granulated Sugar
• 1/2 C. Pumpkin (NOT Pumpkin Pie Mix!)
• 2 Blocks of Cream Cheese, each 8 oz, room temperature
• 1 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice
• (OR, we used 2 drops Cinnamon Vitality Essential Oil + 1 Nutmeg Essential Oil)
• 2/3 Box of Graham Crackers, crushed (this was 2 of the 3 bags within)
• 1/4 C. Butter - melted
• 1 Milk Chocolate Dove Bar, shaved into curls

Directions

• Combine the Crushed Graham Crackers (1/2 box) and mix with the melted Butter. Pour that into a 7 Springform pan, push down as a layer and then work a little up the sides. Pop that into the freezer until the batter is ready. For the batter, mix the Eggs, Sugar, Pumpkin and Cream Cheese in the KitchenAid until well blended. We did ours on HIGH until all lumps are out and mixture is fluffy. Add the Spices or, Oils (if you are using Essential Oils) Mix lightly one last time until Spices or Oils are blended. Pour the mixture into the 7 Springform Pan (from your freezer). Place 1 C. water in the Instant Pot and insert the trivet - the water should be enough to create steam but it shouldnt be high enough to touch the trivet. Take an 18 piece of Tin Foil and fold the long way to make a sling - place that in the Instant Pot to act as a sling when your cheesecake is done. Then gently put the cheesecake in the Instant Pot on the sling - being careful not to touch the sling against the top of the cheesecake. Put the lid on - push Manual and 25 minutes, and let it cook. Once its done, quick release the steam and remove the cheesecake using the sling - let it sit on the counter for 10-15 minutes and then put in the fridge. Dont remove the springform until its cooled and you are ready to serve. Top with Chocolate Shavings - optional.
