Process the graham crackers in a food processor until finely ground OR use a handy dandy crumb roller/rolling pin to crush them.

Press crumb mixture into bottom of parchment lined 7" springform pan.
Bake at 325 F for 15 minutes. While the crust is baking ...
Mix ⅔ cup sugar and pinch of salt together. Set aside.
In large mixing bowl beat the 2 packages of cream cheese with a hand mixer on low until it's just mixed together. Don't over beat.
Incorporate the sugar a bit at a time until well mixed. Again don't over beat.
Add ½ cup of sour cream and 2 teaspoon of vanilla. Beat with hand mixer until fully combined and mixture is smooth.
Add in the 2 eggs and beat just until combined.
Pour batter into pan with cooked graham cracker crust.
Bang the pan a few times to help release air bubbles.
Add 1 cup of boiling water to the Instant Pot.
Insert trivet and place cake on top.
Close lid immediately and set Instant Pot to 18 minutes using manual button.
When done allow natural release of pressure.
Blot top of cheese cake with paper towels (there will be water on top of it)
Cool in the fridge for at least 4 hours, preferably a day.
Serve and enjoy.
