Instant Pot Red White Blue Cheesecake Singles are perfect for holidays and events and can be used for take home gifts.

Pressure Cooker Red White Blue Cheesecake Singles

So, 4th of July is coming up and you want something to impress! Look no further. These 4 oz Wide Mouth Mason Jar Pressure Cooker Red White and Blue Cheesecake Singles are perfect and so easy to make in a Pressure Cooker!

Well, maybe look at my Red, White & Blue Fresh Berry Cheesecake Salad too, but these mini cheesecakes will be the star of the show.

They are based on my Pressure Cooker New York Vanilla Bean Cheesecake recipe, but, there is a surprise filling. If you want to make Half Pint Wide Mason Jar Cheesecakes, the cooks times are listed in the recipe below. Just double the amount for each jar.

Before you get started making this Pressure Cooker Cheesecake, please read my article called Perfect Pressure Cooker Cheesecake Tips & Guide, so that your first cheesecake will be a success.

  • Vanilla

These little Pressure Cooker Red White and Blue Cheesecake Singles are so quick and easy to make in your Instant Pot, Ninja Foodi or Pressure Cooker.

Click Flags for printing!

These Pressure Cooker Red White and Blue Cheesecake Singles are great to bring to parties, barbecues, and events, as you don’t have to worry about cutting and serving the dessert. These can be totally prepared the day before, including the whipped cream and fresh fruit and covered with their lids.

When you get to the party, just add the flags. Be sure to save the box to the Mason Jars, so you can use them to carry the filled jars to your gathering.

Plus, if someone wants has to leave the party early, they can screw on a lid on the jar and take their Holiday Cheesecake with them to enjoy later. These cute little 4 oz Wide Mouth Mason Jars are pretty inexpensive, so they are great to use as gifts.

 

Grease Mason Jars

Grease Mason Jars

Before you get started making this Pressure Cooker Cheesecake, please read my article called Perfect Pressure Cooker Cheesecake Tips & Guide, so that your first cheesecake will be a success.

Grease the insides of the Little Mason Jars very well.

 

Nilla Cookie Crust

Drop or Crumble Vanilla Wafers

You can either drop a Nilla wafer in the bottom of the Little Mason Jars or crumble up the cookies and add the crumbles to the bottom of the Little Mason Jars.

We love this recipe using Cinnamon Graham Crackers instead of the Nilla wafers, but you can use any cookie you like!

Other Cookies for Crust

  • Nilla Wafers are awesome. We also like to use Graham Crackers for the crust. Chocolate Graham Crackers are wonderful too!
  • Biscoff Cookies work really well too.
  • The important thing is that you choose a crispy cookie, so that the crust does not become soggy.

Since these are little individual cheesecakes and people will eat right out of the Little Mason Jars, no need to add sugar and butter and press them into the bottom.

 

Cream Cheese, Sugar, and Vanilla

Add Cream Cheese, Sugar, and Vanilla to Food Processor

Add the room temperature cream cheese, sugar and vanilla to a food processor or use a hand mixer and blend it very well.

 

Mix

Blend Mixture Together

The first photo is of the cream cheese mixture that was blended together. The next steps you will only pulse the food processor a couple of times as you do not want to over beat the eggs. The cheesecake will become like a soufflé, if you over mix your eggs.

So, add one egg at a time and pulse until just combined. You may still see that some of the egg is not completely mixed in and that is fine. DO NOT OVER MIX THE EGGS!

Then add the cream and again, just a quick pulse. You can even combine it with just a spatula.

For grating the lemon and orange, I use a Microplane Stainless Steel Zester. Remove the blade and add the zest and mix in.

 

Cream Cheese Mason Jars

Add Mixture to Mason Jars

Add 2 Tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture to each Little Mason Jar.

 

Fresh Berry Compote

Add Fresh Berry Compote

Next add one Tablespoon of the Fresh Berry Compote to each jar.

 

Swirl Berry Compote with a Knife

Swirl Berry Compote with a Knife

Gently, place the Fresh Berry Compote on top of the cheesecake filling. Don’t plop it on, or it will sink to the bottom of the Pressure Cooker Red White and Blue Cheesecake Singles. If you like, take a knife and swirl it a bit, so that the Fresh Berry Compote isn’t in one lump.

 

Add More Cheesecake Mixture

Add More Cheesecake Mixture

Add some more of the cheesecake mixture on top. You will have the exact amount to fill 12 4oz Mason Jars.

 

Mason Jars in Pressure Cooker

Place Mason Jars into the Pressure Cooker

I used my Instant Pot DUO80 and was able to get all the jars in at once by using two trivets. Lightly place a piece of tin foil over the top, just to eliminate any water from dripping into the Little Mason Jars.

 

Add Decorations to the Singles

Add Decorations to the Cheesecake Singles

These are great individual sizes and you are left with some room to decorate!!!

 

Single Fruity Berry Cheesecake

Single Fruity Berry 4th of July Holiday Cheesecake

You will be the star of the party with these Pressure Cooker Red White and Blue Cheesecake Singles.

More Instant Pot Cheesecakes to Make:

  • Meyer Lemon Cheesecake
  • Blackberry Cheesecake
  • Cookies ‘N Creme Cheesecake
  • New York Cheesecake Style Vanilla Bean Cheesecake
  • Banana Pudding Cheesecake.

All of these cheesecakes can be made in singles!

For a lighter cheesecake, try my Italian Ricotta Cheesecake or Italian Meyer Lemon Ricotta Cheesecake, which are 50% fewer calories. I’ve also made a Three Ingredient Japanese Cotton Cheesecake in the Pressure Cooker.

    Can I make these in 8 oz. jelly jars (not wide mouth)? If so, would there be a difference in cooking time?

    Jill thanks. Have you frozen these? Will they freeze well with the compote in them?

    I used this recipe for my very first ever attempt at cheesecake. I left off the fruit because I didn’t have any. They turned out wonderful! Couldn’t believe how easy it was. No more Jello Cheesecake in this house again!

    I would love to post a pic here. I have made this three times with varying cook times and my cheesecakes are so overcooked they are boiling out the top of the jars. I am crying with no cheesecake to take tomorrow. Please tell me what I am doing wrong. 4 minutes with 10 min NPR is clearly way too long. 3 min with 10 NPR did not help. I have followed your recipe exactly. I do not understand and I am out of ingredients.

      Cindy, it sounds like you are overworking your eggs.

    “If using a 6 Quart Pressure Cooker, place four jars on each layer and cook in two batches.”

    Does the amount of jars change the cooking time at all? Would it be one batch of 8 (4 on each layer) and a second batch of 4 (1 layer of 4) to get 12 jars in a 6 qt?

    Thanks!

    Instead of the jars, could you use mini springform pans, perhaps? And if so, would there be any difference in time?

      Hi Becka~

      Mini spring form pans are fine. I would use a 12 minute cook time.

    Curious on making this with half the amount of strawberries. I’ve got 8 oz of strawberries, with 1 TBSP sugar and 1/2 orange squeeze. Would the cooking time be reduced (not likely because of the original 1 minute time frame I suppose), but with the NPR? Would I release it sooner?

      Hi Casey~

      Cook and release time would be the same. Thanks so much for visiting!
