Instant Pot Desserts You’ll Want to Make on Repeat

Instant Pot desserts are a total game-changer when you’re craving something sweet but don’t want to turn on the oven or wait around forever.

With an Instant Pot, you can whip up everything from gooey chocolate lava cakes to creamy cheesecakes —yes, really— all with minimal effort.

It’s the perfect shortcut for busy nights, last-minute guests, or when you’re just not in the mood for a big baking project.

The best part? These dessert recipes turn out rich, flavorful, and shockingly easy.

Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just getting started with pressure cooking, these recipes are practically foolproof.

Tips & Tricks for Instant Pot Dessert Recipes:

• Use the pot-in-pot method – Most desserts don’t go directly in the Instant Pot liner. Instead, pour your batter or mix into a separate heat-safe dish that sits on a trivet with water underneath — it helps avoid sogginess and ensures even cooking.
• Don’t forget the foil – Cover your dessert dish with foil before pressure cooking to prevent excess water from dripping onto the dessert and ruining the texture.
• Let the pressure naturally release – Quick releases can cause desserts to deflate or crack. Natural pressure release helps keep everything smooth and set.
• Use room temperature ingredients – Cold ingredients (especially cream cheese or eggs) don’t blend well and can affect the final texture of your dessert.
• Grease your pans – Even with nonstick pans, a quick swipe of butter or oil helps with easy removal and cleaner slices—especially for things like cheesecakes or brownies.
