Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup chocolate wafer cookie crumbs (about 12 cookies)
  • 2 tbsp. unsalted butter
  • 6 oz. cream cheese
  • 1 tbsp. sour cream
  • 1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 oz. dark chocolate chips
Instructions
  • Mix the cookie crumbs with the butter. Scoop out about 2 tablespoons of the crumb mixture into each of four (1-cup) ramekins or custard cups and press it down to make a layer a scant 1/4 inch thick. You may not need all the crumbs, but you can reserve them and sprinkle over the top of the cheesecakes as garnish.
  • To make the filling, beat the cream cheese, sour cream, and vanilla with a hand mixer in a small bowl until smooth. Add the sugar gradually, continuing to beat until the mixture is smooth again.
  • Beat in the egg until fully incorporated. Spoon out 2 tablespoons of the batter into a small bowl, then mix in the melted chocolate into the larger amount of batter.
  • Divide the chocolate cheesecake batter among the ramekins. Spoon the reserved vanilla batter over the chocolate mixture and swirl a skewer or small knife through it to create a marble pattern.
  • Add 1 cup of water to the inner pot. Place a trivet in the pot and then place the ramekins on top. If they won’t all fit in one layer, it’s fine to stack them. Drape a piece of foil over the ramekins to keep condensation off the top of the cheesecakes. Lock the lid in place.
  • Select Pressure Cook or Manual, and adjust the pressure to High and the time to 6 minutes. After cooking, let the pressure release naturally for 8 minutes, then quick release any remaining pressure.
  • Unlock the lid. Use tongs to remove the ramekins. Let cool for 20 minutes or so, then refrigerate to chill thoroughly, about 3 to 4 hours
Notes
  • Easier Together: One person can make and assemble the crusts while the other person works on the filling.
    Make It Gluten-Free: Use gluten-free cookies for the crumbs.
