WHAT DESSERTS CAN YOU MAKE IN AN INSTANT POT

When it comes to Instant Pot desserts you can usually make round cakes, cheesecakes, cobblers and crumbles, stewed fruit, jam, summer and winter puddings, and even mini lava cakes. You are somewhat restricted by the shape of the pot but it shouldn't stop your creativity.

You can use the trivet to stack layers of mini ramekins with pannacotta or chocolate muffins, and you can use various cake tins (again rounded or those that can fit inside your pressure cooker) to make all sorts of desserts.

Here are some essentials for your Instant Pot dessert-making kit: trivet (comes with your IP), silicone cake tin, loaf tin, flower cake or bundt cake tin, some ramekins, and yogurt making cups (which you can use for other things as well).
