Notes
- Add 1 inch of water to a large slow cooker (5, 6, or 7 quart slow cooker). Place a wire rack into the bottom (I used 3 rings from Mason jar lids to set it on), and then place the filled spring form pan on top of rack.
- Lay 3 layers of paper towels across the top of the slow cooker (hold tight so they don’t fall and touch the cheesecake), then place the lid on top.
- Cook on high for 2 hours (do not remove the lid at all during this time), turn off, remove lid and paper towels, and let stand for 1-2 hours or until slow cooker is cool. Place cheesecake in pan into the fridge and let set for at least 8 hours, preferably overnight.
- Continue with directions from how to make ganache and top cheesecake.
- Store covered in the refrigerator. Will keep for up to a week.
- No Instant Pot, no problem - you can make this Almond Joy Cheesecake in the Slow Cooker:
