Instant Pot Christmas Pudding
Prep ingredients
I followed thisBBC Good Food Easy Christmas Puddingrecipe exactly.
Then I added milk and an egg and combined again.
After combining, I added a little more cinnamon because Im a cinnamon fiend.
double-check to put the Instant Pot trivet under the parchment paper to prevent sticking.
I was careful not to let any batter drip down the sides.
Then I put the aforementioned parchment paper bowl on top and poured the batter in.
I put the pudding on for 24 minutes (12 minutes twice) on pressure cook with natural venting.
Then I let it rest in the pot for about an hour to cool and harden.
Take a look at this delicious pudding!
As soon as I took my first bite, I swear my eyes rolled back in my head.

For a last minute on the fly dessert, this was an absolute killer.
