Instant Pot Creme Brûlée

This Creme Brûlée is one of my favorite desserts that I’ve made with the Instant Pot. It’s such a simple dessert, but it’s so good when it’s done right...and as a bonus it's naturally gluten free!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 6 egg yolks
  • 5 Tbsp sugar
  • 1 Tbsp vanilla extract
  • 4 Tbsp sugar for topping

Instructions

  • Add the egg yolks and 5 tablespoons of sugar to a mixing bowl, and whisk until the sugar dissolves. Then add the cream and vanilla, and whisk just until everything is incorporated.
  • Pour the mixture into your ramekins, and cover each tightly with a small piece of tin foil.
  • Place the metal trivet in the bottom of your Instant Pot and add 1 cup of water to the bottom. Carefully arrange the ramekins in the pot so that they are evenly spaced and sturdy.
  • Put the lid on the pot and select the "Manual" option, then set the timer for 9 minutes. When the time is up, let the pressure release naturally from the pot for another 15 minutes then quick release any remaining pressure.
  • Uncover the ramekins and let them cool off for about 45 minutes. Then cover each ramekin in plastic wrap, and refrigerate them for at least 4 hours to continue setting. When you’re ready to serve, remove the plastic wrap and sprinkle the 4 tablespoons of sugar evenly over the tops of each one.
  • Use your culinary torch to lightly caramelize the sugar (I bought mine for less than $15 on Amazon) and serve. Yum!
