Maple Custard, another easy Instant Pot dessert to enjoy!

Today we are talking about a well stocked pantry, and how to make Maple Custard, come and take a look, at this delicious custard to enjoy! And don't forget the whipped cream!


Maple Custard is on my cooking radar this morning. 

I am a big fan of custards, especially those made with no refined sugar like this one made with honey. And now this new creation with real maple syrup.  A custard dessert can be ready to pop into the pressure cooker/Instant Pot in about five minutes. From a well stocked pantry. But honestly what exactly does that mean? I know I tend to use that phrase often and my guess is, it is high time I clarified what exactly a "well stocked pantry" means to me. 

A well stocked pantry means the following...

For me a well stocked pantry is enough food to take me from one trip to the grocery store or food co-op, the the next trip. No matter how often I travel for purchasing what we need. Without having to run into town or the store to get something I need for the recipe I am cooking today. Does this mean I have a full case of everything I use in my pantry. For me no, but for others depending upon their purchasing habits or the ebb and  flow of income, the answer might be yes. 

Your own style of organization will help you maintain a well stocked pantry.

Does it mean that I only have enough food in my pantry for those meals that have been planned out in great detail for the next two weeks or a month? Again it might, depending upon your personal management of money and food purchases. The long and the short of it, is that if you have a fairly good idea of how much food you will use in the recipes that your family enjoys, and have that in your pantry, you have a well stocked pantry. My way works for me, and I hope you have a method that works for you.


Because we tend to live out of town and usually must travel for up to an hour to shop, necessity became my teacher on how to have a well stocked pantry. Also I am not a meal planner, preferring to be creative each day with what I have on hand or must be used to avoid waste, But I will share this other trick I have developed to make my pantry inclusive to additional recipes. I have enjoyed developing recipes that are simply a take-off from our favorites. For instance this recipe for Maple Custard is nothing more than our favorite Vanilla Honey Custard with a substitution of real maple syrup.  In this way, there is always a delicious recipe to come out of the kitchen!

Some additional thoughts on this recipe:

Like most appliances, I have discovered that my Instant Pot cooks slightly different than many recipes I have tried. Mine seems to need an additional minute or two. Adjust the cooking time listed in the recipe if needed for your particular model. 


Ingredients needed for this recipe:
  • maple syrup
  • eggs
  • canned evaporated milk
  • salt
  • vanilla
You will also need the following:
  • Instant Pot or stove top pressure cooker
  • trivet for inside the pressure cooker
  • medium sized stainless steel mixing bowl
  • whisk 
  • measuring cup
Now we are ready to begin!



Maple Custard

3 eggs
2/3 c real maple syrup
1 12 oz. can of evaporated milk
1 t vanilla
pinch of salt

Break the eggs into the medium sized stainless steel mixing bowl. Use a whisk to beat them together.



Add the pinch of salt and the vanilla, whisk once again.

Add the milk, whisk again.

Add the maple syrup and whisk to combine everything together.



Gently lower the mixing bowl into the cooking pot of your pressure cooker, already prepared with the amount of water needed per the manufacturer and a trivet to hold the bowl of custard.

Affix the lid, making sure the valve is closed and cook for 12 minutes, let sit for 5 minutes NPR, then release. You may let the custard rest on the trivet until it can safely be removed if desired.

Chill completely and serve with whipped cream if desired. 

Storage options for Maple Custard. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to four days. I do not recommend freezing this recipe.

    1. Judee I really enjoy a naturally sweetened dessert over one with refined sugars. I am healthier eating foods sweetened with honey and real maple syrup or dates. And I have noticed almost all my sugar cravings have disappeared, which has been wonderful. Thanks so for stopping by, I appreciate it.
