Desserts are one of my favorite things to make in the pressure cooker. I bought these fun, squatty 1\/2 pint\u00a0mason jars specifically for making desserts in a pressure cooker. Someone posted them in the Instant Pot Facebook group<\/a> and I just couldn’t resist buying them.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Making\u00a0Chocolate Pots de Cr\u00e8me in an Instant Pot<\/h2>\n
An Instant Pot is one of the most popular brands of electric pressure cookers. They are easy to use and your Instant Pot can help you create these delicious Chocolate Pots de Cr\u00e8me!<\/div>\n

I’ve made pressure cooker custard<\/a>\u00a0desserts before, but I have been wanting to make Pots de Cr\u00e8me in the pressure cooker for a while now. The fancy name is just a French term for thick, rich pudding (really a custard since it’s made with eggs.) It’s\u00a0usually baked in the oven in a water bath, so I knew it would be perfect “baked” in the pressure cooker.<\/p>\n

Although I made it in my fun new mason jars, you could also use\u00a0custard dishes or ramekins. You’ll also need two racks. One for the bottom of the pot and one between the layers. If you only have one rack, others have used rolled up aluminum foil to raise the cups off the bottom of the pot.<\/p>\n

When it comes to chocolate desserts, my family prefers milk chocolate to dark chocolate. So I used half bittersweet chocolate and half milk chocolate in the baked chocolate custards. You should\u00a0use whatever chocolate you love to eat. The better the chocolate, the better the chocolate custard will be.<\/p>\n

I topped my pressure cooked Chocolate Pots de Cr\u00e8me with whipped cream and real chocolate jimmies, but shaved chocolate or chocolate curls would be an elegant addition. If you’re a chocolate lover, you need to give this recipe a try.<\/p>\n
