Notes

Using room temperature cream cheese allows for a smooth cream cheese mixture.
Per reader comment, adding 4 eggs instead of two provides a much lighter cheesecake-like texture.
The following can be added in place of the blueberries:
  • sugar-free chocolate chips
  • raspberries
  • strawberries
  • blackberries
  • nuts
  • broken low carb cookie pieces
Instant Pot Directions:
Put the batter into half-pint jars with rings and lids, not tightened, just loose, and steam for 15 minutes, then NPR (natural pressure release) for 20 minutes.
