Equipment

  • Instant Pot - 6 quart or larger
  • silicone egg molds
  • Trivet
  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer
  • foil
  • paper towels

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons melted butter
  • 3/4 cup chocolate animal cracker crumbs
  • 8 ounces cream cheese
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon mint extract
  • 3 drops green food coloring
  • 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 15 Andes mints

Instructions

  • Combine chocolate animal cracker crumbs and melted butter until crumbs are completely coated.
  • Spoon cookie crumbs into greased instant pot egg molds. Fill molds halfway and then compress crumbs until packed tight.
  • Whisk softened cream cheese and sugar until mixed smooth. Once smooth, mix in egg, mint extract and food coloring. Mix until completely combined and the desired color is achieved.
  • Using a small spoon or cookie scoop, spoon filling on top of cookie crumbs in the egg mold. Tap the egg mold to make sure filling has no air pockets.
  • Cover egg mold with a layer of paper towel and a layer of foil.
  • Place a trivet in the instant pot with 1 cup of water, and place the egg mold on the trivet. Then place a tall trivet over the first egg mold, and place a second egg mold on the tall trivet. If you don’t have a tall trivet, you can cook one mold at a time.
  • Cook on high pressure for 4 minutes, then let it naturally release pressure for 10 minutes.
  • Once finished, remove egg mold and let it sit in the refrigerator for 4 hours.
  • Chop Andes mints into bits.
  • Remove cheesecake bites from the mold. Melt chocolate chips and drizzle over the cheesecake bites. Place Andes mint bits over bites before the chocolate hardens.

Notes

  • Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature before beginning.
  • Make sure that you have packed the crust tightly into the molds, otherwise they won't hold together when you remove them from the instant pot.
  • Cool completely before removing from the mold, otherwise they will crumble.
  • If you don't have a lid for your molds, wrap them with plastic wrap or foil before you place them in the fridge.
  • You can add more or less green food coloring to the cheesecake filling to get the color that you desire.
