The Instant Pot makes weeknight dinners easy breezy. It turns once stressful meal prepping into a short and sweet affair. It can even make you breakfast overnight, or yield a week's worth of yogurt in a single sitting. Perhaps, though, one of its most desirable and flat out charming qualities is its ability to make dessert. We mean, you can even make healthy desserts in the pressure cooker.
Baking isn't everyone's forte and we get that. Much like your pressure cooker makes cooking delicious meals an easier feat even for the amateur chefs, they can turn your baking mistakes into brilliant treats every time - minimal effort required.
We've compiled some of our favorite Instant Pot desserts. Browse through the whole list or go directly to your preferred category. Find more pressure cooker dessert recipes here.

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).
