Instructions
Instructions
Prep your pressure cooker's insert for hot water bath-style cooking with broth depth.
Mix crushed Oreos with melted butter and press into lined springform pan.
Set crust aside without baking; steam from pressure cooker will set it.
Beat cream cheese until smooth, then blend in sugar and cocoa powder.
Mix in sour cream and buttermilk until creamy and smooth.
Add eggs one at a time and gently beat. Stir in vinegar, vanilla, and food coloring.
Pour batter over crust, smooth the top, and place on trivet in pressure cooker.
Pour hot water around pan to reach halfway up for a water bath effect.
Seal and cook under high pressure for 45 minutes. Let slow release 15 minutes, then quick release.
Cool completely in fridge for at least 6 hours or overnight before serving.
Notes
Best served chilled. Top with whipped cream or berries for extra flair.
