Cheesecake Filling:

  • Add the condensed milk, greek yogurt, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract to a bowl and whisk well.
  • Use an immersion blender to blend the mixture, this will ensure the cocoa blends really well into the mixture (otherwise, you will see large specks of cocoa).

  • Pour the mixture on top of the crust, then cover the pan with foil.
  • Add 2 cups of water into the steel inner pot, then place the trivet/wire rack that came with your pressure cooker into the pot (a tall trivet works too). Place the cheesecake pan on top of the rack.
  • Secure the lid, close the pressure valve, and cook for 30 minutes at high pressure.
  • Naturally release pressure for 20 minutes, then release any remaining pressure (do not leave the cheesecake sitting in the pot).
  • Place the cheesecake on a wire rack, remove foil, and let it cool down for an hour.

  • After an hour, unmold the cheesecake - it’s easiest to unmold while slightly warm (you may need to run a paring knife along the edges of the cake if it appears to be sticking).
  • Put the cheesecake in the fridge to chill for 4-6 hours or overnight. The cake will set as it cools.

Chocolate Ganache:

  • Place the chocolate chips and butter in a small bowl.
  • In a small saucepan, bring the cream to a simmer, then pour over the chocolate chips and butter and whisk until smooth. Cool for around 5 to 8 minutes, or until the mixture thickens a bit.
  • Pour the chocolate ganache over the chilled cheesecake. Put in the fridge for an hour for the ganache to set.
