Did you know that chocolate is the most popular sweet treat in the world? People around the world (but mostly in Europe and the United States) consume more than 3 million tons of cocoa beans a year, according to the World Cocoa Foundation.
Chocolate is a marvellous ingredient, whether it comes as a milky bar, chocolate chips or buttons or in its original form of cacao or cocoa powder. And, not only does chocolate taste good AND makes you feel so, but it is also packed with antioxidants and minerals such as magnesium.
Given its popularity and availability in your pantry, we decided to pull together the most deliciously and seriously indulgent chocolate puddings, cakes and desserts you can make in your Instant Pot. While not all treats lend themselves to pressure cooking, some are destined to be friends with this kitchen appliance. Let us know your favorite chocolate dessert to make in the pressure cooker in the comments below!
