What is Sopapilla?
Sopapilla is a tasty, cinnamon, and sugar-seasoned pastry popular in the Southwestern United States and Mexico. The traditional recipe involves a sweet dough fried to perfection. You then sprinkle it with powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar for a delicious dessert.
Sopapilla cheesecake builds on this popular Spanish recipe using nearly everyone’s favorite dessert: cheesecake. In our recipe, we make a cheesecake filling flavored with cinnamon and sugar, a graham cracker crust, and additional toppings to complete this decadent dessert.
Why Make in the Instant Pot?
Many people are surprised to find that the Instant Pot can make a delicious cheesecake!
But it can!
When you bake a cheesecake in the oven, you need to bake it in a water bath to prevent cracking and ensure even cooking. The way the pressure cooker works means you don’t have to worry about even cooking or water baths.
Plus, the resulting cake is light and lovely.
