Oh yes. It’s not an exaggeration!

After all, what’s not to love about a big slice of loaded monster cheesecake?
What is Monster Cheesecake?
Monster cheesecake combines a classic cheesecake with monster cookies.
Monster cookies are a variation on chocolate chip cookies that normally mix M&M’s or other chocolate candies into the cookie dough.
This cheesecake has a chocolate chip cookie crust, giving you part of the monster cookie flavor.
It finishes it off by folding M&M’s into the silky cheesecake filling.
Ingredients
To make this decadent dessert you need:
- chocolate chip cookie dough
- cream cheese
- granulated sugar
- vanilla
- flour
- eggs
- sour cream
- mini M&M’s
- water
- crumbled cookies
How to Make the Best Instant Pot Cheesecake Ever
The prep for this cheesecake isn’t much different from a cheesecake in the oven.
To make it, start by greasing the bottom and sides of your springform pan really well.
Once it’s greased, press the cookie dough evenly into the bottom of the pan and bake it according to package directions.
While the cookie crust bakes, make the cheesecake filling by creaming together room temperature cream cheese, sugar, vanilla and flour.
Then beat in the eggs and sour cream until everything is smooth and evenly combined.
Once the batter is smooth, fold in the mini M&M’s.
Then pour the batter onto the baked cookie crust in the springform pan.
Now, add water to the Instant Pot.
Place the trivet in the Pot and put the cheesecake on the rubber steamer basket.
Secure the lid and cook on high pressure for 30 minutes.
When the Pot beeps, let the pressure naturally release for 15 minutes.
After the 15 minutes have passed, quick release any remaining pressure.
Remove the lid and carefully take the cheesecake out of the Instant Pot.
Use a paper towel to blot any excess water off of the top of the cheesecake.
Let the cheesecake cool completely and then put it in the refrigerator to set overnight.
Then top with crumbled chocolate chip cookies and M&M’s.
Enjoy!
Storing
Store the cheesecake in the fridge for up to 5 days.
For best results, wrap it in plastic wrap tightly.

To make this recipe, I used a 7″ springform pan in my 8 quart Instant Pot.
