Instant Pot desserts taste better than you might expect. While ovens cook with high temperatures that can damage fat and proteins or dry out your dessert, the Instant Pot never exceeds 300 degrees and uses steam to cook food quickly. Translation: More nutrients stay in your treats, and recipes set perfectly without monitoring the pot.
Make perfect cakes, custards, pies, and more with these easy (and keto-friendly) recipes for Instant Pot desserts:

This Instant Pot dessert gets creamy, dreamy flavor from real cocoa and vanilla, while grass-fed gelatin adds a signature wobbly texture. To make this recipe both keto and Bulletproof, use full-fat canned coconut milk as your dairy and swap honey with liquid stevia or monk fruit drops to taste.
Crustless Pumpkin Pie Cups

This treat is worth making all year round: Since it uses canned pumpkin and skips the crust, it tastes more like pudding than a pie. Top with a whipped marshmallow fluff for a 5-carb Instant Pot dessert that makes any meal more festive. Stay Bulletproof and use non-GMO erythritol to sweeten, plus full-fat canned coconut milk as your dairy choice.

No cream, no problem. This silky dessert is bursting with citrus and vanilla flavors, and uses full-fat coconut milk as a base. While it uses gelatin to create a custardy texture, it also contains gut-friendly collagen protein to make your Instant Pot dessert extra nourishing. Stay more Bulletproof and swap the orange juice and zest with a tangerine or two.

Forget fussing over crust! This Instant Pot dessert still delivers the creamy, spiced pumpkin filling you crave for only 6 net carbs. Cooking this dessert in your pressure cooker allows it to develop a smooth and silky texture — but to keep it more Bulletproof, use full-fat canned coconut milk and coconut cream as your dairy sources.

(Plus, avoid cooking with flavor extracts too often.)
