A quick and easy creamy pudding made in the Instant Pot, delivering a silky smooth texture and comforting flavor without the fuss of constant stirring.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups (950 ml) whole milk
  • 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup (30 g) cornstarch
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp (28 g) unsalted butter
  • 3 large egg yolks (room temperature)
  • Optional: 2 tbsp cocoa powder for chocolate twist
  • Optional: 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon for spice
  • Optional: fresh berries or toasted nuts for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, cornstarch, and salt until well combined (about 5 minutes).
  2. In a separate bowl, lightly beat the egg yolks until smooth. Slowly whisk in 1 cup (240 ml) of whole milk to temper the eggs (about 5 minutes).
  3. Gradually pour the egg-and-milk mixture into the dry ingredients, whisking continuously for a smooth batter. Add the remaining 3 cups (710 ml) of whole milk and stir gently to combine.
  4. Pour the mixture into the Instant Pot’s inner stainless steel pot. Add unsalted butter and vanilla extract (omit butter if using dairy-free milk).
  5. Secure the lid, set the valve to sealing, and select the ‘Manual’ or ‘Pressure Cook’ mode. Cook on high pressure for 8 minutes.
  6. Allow natural pressure release for 10 minutes, then carefully quick-release any remaining pressure.
  7. Remove the lid and immediately whisk the pudding vigorously until smooth. It will thicken as it cools.
  8. Spoon pudding into heatproof bowls or ramekins. Cover with plastic wrap pressed directly on the surface to prevent skin formation. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.

Notes

Temper the eggs slowly to prevent scrambling. Use natural pressure release to avoid curdling. Whisk immediately after cooking to smooth out lumps. Cover pudding with plastic wrap pressed on the surface to prevent skin formation. For dairy-free versions, substitute milk and butter with plant-based alternatives.
