Steps:
- Crust: Spray a 7-inch springform pan with non stick cooking spray. In a medium bowl, mix together the chocolate crackers, sugar and butter. Pour into prepared pan; press up the sides (about 1-inch) and the bottom. Place in the freezer while the filling is being made. For the Filling: In a medium mixing bowl add the cream cheese, granulated sugar and brown sugar. Whip until the ingredients are combined and creamy. Add the sour cream, flour, vanilla and eggs to the cream cheese mixture. Beat on medium until all ingredients are combined and creamy. Take the pan out of the freezer; pour filling over crust. Place pan in the center of a piece of foil; bring up the sides and cover but do not extend above the rim. Take another piece of foil (about 18-inches long), fold into thirds long wise. This strip will serve as a sling and make lifting the cheesecake out of the pot easier. Set the cheesecake in the center of the strip. Pour 2 cups water into the bottom of the Instant pot; place the rack that came with the pot in the bottom with the handles folded on top. Using the sling lower the cheesecake into the pot. Place the lid on top and secure. Plug in the pot, press manual and set cooking time for 30 minutes on high pressure. MAKE SURE THE VENT IS CLOSED Once the timer goes off use the quick release for the pressure. Lift cheesecake out of the pan and onto a wire cooling rack. NOTE: There might be some liquid that accumulated in the center of the cheesecake during the cooking process. If so, use a paper towel to soak up the liquid. Let cool ONE HOUR. Cover with foil and cool completely in refrigerator (at least 4 hours). For the Topping: Preheat oven to 300°. Spread coconut on a rimmed baking sheet and toast 20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes, until coconut is golden. Cool on baking sheet. Unwrap the caramels and place in a large microwave safe bowl with cream. Cook on high 1 ½ to 2 minutes, stopping to stir a few times. When smooth stir in toasted coconut. Spoon coconut mixture on top of cheesecake. In a microwave safe bowl melt chocolate chips. Pour chocolate into a zip top bag, snip the corner and drizzle over cheesecake. IMPORTANT----SERVING INSTRUCTIONS: If you don't plan on the serving the cheesecake as soon as the topping is added; I recommend at least pre-slicing it and storing the cheesecake covered in the refrigerator. ONE HOUR before serving take the cheesecake out of the refrigerator. The time may vary depending on room temperature. Don't let the inner temperature of the cheesecake get any lower than 41°. This is the highest temp you want your cheesecake to reach. At the one hour mark I was easily able to put a fork through the topping to eat. I still recommend slicing the cheesecake while the topping is warm.
