Besides the benefits of an electric pressure cooker, this post is about a chocolatey, creamy, frugal, and easy dessert. I have been working on more desserts using not only my Instant Pot but also eggs and milk. Custard desserts are on my horizon at this time. One decision I made when I began using my electric pressure cooker years ago was to try a new recipe that also included a new skill or way of using the appliance.
My favorite so far is pot-in-pot cooking. Using this method, I was on my way to great custards in no time flat. The beauty of these desserts is minimal hands-on, quick-cooking time, a brief cooling, and finally chilling in the refrigerator. Leaving you free to go about your day and having a great dessert for the family or even just yourself. This Chocolate Chocolate Chip Bread Pudding is just such a dessert. Plus it is company-worthy, so you can count on it when you have guests over for supper or even just dessert...

Chocolate Chocolate Chip Bread Pudding
adapted from: Old Fashion Egg Custard in your Pressure Cooker!
1/2 c sugar
2 T cocoa
3 eggs
1 t vanilla
dash of salt
1 12 oz can of evaporated milk
3 slices of bread, torn or diced into small pieces
1/3 c chocolate chips
In a 1 1/2 quart mixing bowl (heat-safe, this bowl will go into your pressure cooker) combine the sugar and the cocoa powder. Beat in eggs, salt and vanilla. Gently stir in the evaporated milk and milk or half and half.
Gently scatter the chocolate chips over the top. Cover the bowl with foil, pressing firmly around the rim.
Gently lower the foil-covered bowl onto the trivet.
Secure the lid, and cook for 10 minutes, let the filled cooker sit for 5 minutes (NPR), then release the pressure.
Remove the lid, carefully remove the bowl, and let cool before refrigerating.
Serve chilled with whipped cream. And for the die-hard chocolate lovers in our family, a drizzle of chocolate syrup is a must!

ReplyDeleteTina, thank you! It goes quickly around here...
DeleteWow! this is so delicious looking and such a unique recipe using the pressure cooker.
ReplyDeleteOne of those frugal but oh so delicious treats we enjoy. Thanks for stopping by, I appreciate it.
DeleteI haven't tried making any desserts other than poached pears in my pressure cooker.
ReplyDeleteI think that we each have a niche of the recipes we think best for a pressure cooker. But one of the things I love most is the "pot-in-pot" cooking for custards and such! This is a favorite around here...
DeleteLove bread pudding so I've got to try this!
ReplyDeleteIt is a favorite here as well. I have several recipes for bread pudding, and this one is the favorite of my husband...
DeleteOh, this looks sooo good! I love bread pudding but haven't tried it with chocolate yet. That's something I need to do now! Thanks for sharing on Crafty Creators & Happiness is Homemade! I'm choosing the features on HIH for September, so I'll be stopping by for both parties.

ReplyDeleteI don’t have an instapot, but I think I’d enjoy making yogurt!
Amazing how much you can do with one appliance if you’re creative!
