Top 10 Desserts You Can Make in Your Instant Pot

What happens when you combine a pressure cooker and a dessert? You get instant desserts! I’m not kidding. In fact, many famous chefs have been saying that they use pressure cookers to make desserts like custards. They call them their secret weapon in making desserts using the Instant Pot.

Here are ten of my favorite desserts you can make in the Instant Pot:

1. Instant Pot Pumpkin Cake

This bundt cake contains chocolate chips, pumpkin flavor, and a spicy kick.

When choosing your bundt pan, ensure you get one that is enough to fit into the Instant Pot. Most cakes with water in the bottom need their own cake pan, so it’s good to get a trivet with a handle to make it easier to remove the cake.

2. Chocolate Espresso Pudding Cake

This delicious espresso pudding cake recipe is not complex. All you need to have is a love for desserts and espresso.

3. Instant Pot Applesauce

I love to use applesauce in my baking, as a healthy breakfast option, and even on my pork chops. This recipe lets the apple flavor shine and only needs 8 minutes in the oven. If you like a spicy bite, you can add extra cinnamon to your applesauce or leave it out altogether.

4. Peach Dump Cake

This recipe uses just a few ingredients and can be thrown together with little prep. It’s perfect for kids to make. When you’re ready to top your pie, cut the butter into thin, even slices and spread it evenly over the top crust. For a sweeter flavor, sprinkle with brown sugar and broil the cake for a few minutes after baking.

6. Bread Pudding

Bread pudding is a simple dessert made of bread, milk, and eggs. It’s the perfect way to use stale bread and a few basic pantry staples.

It’s’ a sweet, custard-based dessert that I like to serve guests at dinner parties! You can try it too!

7. Instant Pot Apple Crisp

While you can make apple crisp in an Instant Pot, you’ll need to broil it for a few minutes afterward to get that lovely crunch we all love. But if you don’t have an oven or don’t want to turn your oven on in the summer, this is a great alternative.

8. Instant Pot Chocolate Pudding Cake

When two worlds collide, you get a guilt-free treat. Better yet? Its modest list of ingredients and simple pressure cooker preparation make it easy to feel good about indulging in this dessert.

9. Instant Pot Strawberry Cake

If you’re tired of your usual cakes and are looking for something a little different, this cake is a good choice. It’s’ cooked using the steam feature, so it’s denser than most cakes but still tender and tasty.

It’s’ simple, quick, and delicious, with a fresh strawberry glaze that eliminates the need for frosting or other toppings.

10. Instant Pot Rice Krispie Treats

If you’ve ever made Rice Krispie treats using a microwave, you’ll know that marshmallows tend to puff up when heated in the microwave.

The Instant Pot makes melting down marshmallows easy—even when you’re making a double batch! And we all know how messy marshmallows can get…

Heat some water in a pot on the sauté setting, then wipe the syrup off with a damp cloth.
