This recipe won’t be as “instant” as some of the others on this list, but it definitely will be worth the wait. Oreo cheesecake, yeah…that’s worth the wait.
It pressure cooks in 40 minutes, sits for 10, then is placed into the refrigerator for overnight chilling. So for this one, you’ll need to plan ahead a little bit. However, this recipe looks for a promising and rewarding dessert that everyone will love.

This was my favorite dessert as a kid. Creamy, textured, topped with cinnamon (NO RAISINS PLEASE) and served chilled after a delicious meal.
It can also be made quite easily in the Instant Pot, which makes the whole process a lot simpler. If you’ve ever made homemade rice pudding, you’ll know there’s lots of room for disaster, so this recipe is an answer to that…even if you add the raisins.

No spoons required, creme brulee! All made in the Instant Pot with the help of some inexpensive silicone cups (that you likely already have in your cupboard!).
These creme brulees are not like the classic custard, but more of a cheesecake with creme brulee flavor and of course, that crunch.

Why bother even heating up the oven for a warm loaf of banana bread when you can make it, still in a bundt pan, right inside your Instant Pot. I swear this gadget just gets better and better.
Use up all those black bananas with an easy recipe that can feed the whole family, freezes easily, packs for lunches (remove nuts if you’re sending to school though). Pretty exciting times.

Oh dear GOODNESS things are getting insta-pot-tastic up in here (I have an emotional attachment to key lime pie, and it’s a totally normal thing, ok?).
What I love about this recipe is how it notes that in the Instant Pot you have a LESS LIKELY chance of overcooking or creating a dry pie when pressure cooking. It’s actually more forgiving than an oven. The recipe itself is also basic, easy to follow and will definitely be a go-to again and again.

Angel food cake, known for its cloud-like texture, and soft, sponginess, it’s a real win when you’re looking for a nice light dessert. This comes in handy especially during Summer months, or after a large heavy meal.
Made in the Instant Pot, it’s fluffy, fat-free and sweet. Using an angel food cake boxed mix, this is made easier than ever, with nearly no work required for this to be a smashing success of a dessert. Top with some warmed raspberry jam, or fresh fruit and you’re golden.

I love love love a simple recipe that’s a spin on a classic, with a creative twist. This, is that kind of recipe.
Using store-bought crescent rolls (you know the kind), you simply place an apple wedge in the center, roll and add the other ingredients drizzling apple cider on top before you pressure cook in the Instant Pot. The results…well, the images speak for themselves.
