Instant Pot Bread Pudding

This Instant Pot Bread Pudding is perfect to make in your Instant Pot. The bread pudding stays moist and delicious and is topped with a sweet and nutty pecan caramel glaze.

Is bread pudding a breakfast or dessert, that is the question! Well I say both! This recipe came about because I really wanted to make dessert in my Instant Pot. I had already made this New York Cheesecake, my Carrot Cake Cheesecake, and now I wanted to try pecan pie in the Instant Pot Pressure Cooker. 

Instant Pot Bread Pudding


So one night, I went to experimenting….and after I made the batter for my pecan pie and put it in the Instant Pot, I fell asleep. First, let me say that I do not recommend falling asleep while doing any form of cooking.

Secondly, let me say that I am so glad that I was baking in my Instant Pot rather than any other device. I woke up and found that my Instant Pot had been natural releasing for 7 hours…but my home and my family were ok. I dumped that pie out and decided to try for another day.
A few days later, I noticed I still had a ton of pecans in the pantry but I now was craving bread pudding. So it dawned on me, combine both desserts and live my best life. So I did, it was amazing, and I am sharing the recipe.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups Water, for the pressure cooker
  • 2 Tbsp Dark Rum*
  • 1/2 cup Raisins
  • 7 cups Day Old Brioche or Challah Bread, cut or torn into cubes
  • 1/2 cup Pecans, chopped
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1/4 cup Sugar
  • 3/4 tsp Vanilla
  • 3/4 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1 Pinch of Salt
  • 1/8 tsp Nutmeg
  • 1 1/4 cups Half and Half, or milk
  • 2 Tbsps Butter, melted
  • Bread Pudding Rum Sauce (or omit rum and use extract)
  • 4 Tbsps Butter
  • 1/4 cup Sugar
  • 1/3 cup Heavy Cream
  • 1 Tbsp Dark Rum*
  • 1/8 tsp Vanilla


Instructions


  1. Soak the raisins in the rum for 15-30 minutes (Do not discard rum. Set aside). Or use hot water or hot apple juice to soak them.
  2. Spray or butter a 1.5 to 2 quart oven safe dish and set aside (I use one of the 7"x3" ekovana Stackable Stainless Pans or a Fat Daddio's 7"x3" push pan)
  3. Place the bread cubes and pecans in a mixing bowl. Toss to mix. Set aside.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs and sugar until well combined.
  5. Add vanilla, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, and half and half. Whisk together well.
  6. Drizzle in the melted butter as you whisk. Keep whisking until well combined.
  7. Take the raisins from the rum (save the rum) and add the raisins to the bread cubes, tossing to mix.
  8. Pour the custard mixture over the bread and lightly mix to coat all of the bread cubes. Then transfer to the prepared pan. Gently press down on the bread to help it absorb the custard.
  9. Cover the pan tightly with sprayed foil.


Cook the Bread Pudding


  1. Put 1 1/2 cups of water into the inner liner of the pressure cooker.
  2. Using a sling, or the handles of the rack, carefully lower the pan into the pressure cooker's pot. It will need to sit on the rack, not directly on the bottom of the pot.
  3. Place the lid on the pot and set the Steam Release Knob to Sealing (not on Ultra).
  4. Press the Manual (or Pressure Cook) Button, or dial on Ultra. Set time to 30 minutes using the + or - button, or dial.
  5. When cook cycle ends, let pot naturally release pressure for 15 minutes. Then manually release the remaining pressure by turning the knob to Venting (or push the button on the Ultra).
  6. When the pin in the lid drops, it is safe to open the lid. Open and carefully remove the pan, using sling or the rack's handles (I wear my Silicone Mitts for this). Careful!
  7. Let sit covered for a few minutes and prepare the sauce.


Bread Pudding Sauce


  1. In a small saucepan, melt the butter and sugar together over medium heat.
  2. Whisk in the cream, rum, and vanilla.
  3. Let mixture come to a low boil, stirring frequently, then reduce the mixture to a low simmer and let cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently.
  4. Take off heat and transfer to a small pitcher for serving.
  5. Serve Bread Pudding with sauce or without.
