Creamy, rich, silky FAIL-PROOF Creme Brulee made in an Instant Pot in less than 3 minutes.

I’ve had Creme Brulee every single day this week because it is THAT addicting and easy to create. You NEED to give my Instant Pot Creme Brulee a try; I promise your mind will be blown away! 

Creme Brulee is my favorite dessert. Every time I see it on the dessert menu, I HAVE to order it, no matter how full I am.

I have always been intimidated to make Creme Brulee at home because of its complicated process.

My Instant Pot Creme Brulee recipe came from an accident. I’ve been working on a simple Chawanmushi – Japanese Steamed Egg Custard for the past few weeks, and I thought … what if we made Creme Brulee?

After a few trials and errors, I am so happy and excited to share with you this fail-proof recipe that guarantees PERFECT Creme Brulee every single time. (I know because I’ve had it almost every day this week) 

I know I say it’s OPTIONAL, but adding a little shot of rum is HIGHLY recommended.

It adds richness and fantastic flavor to the dish.

If you don’t like alcohol, swap with vanilla instead, and it will be delicious as well.

Make sure to seal the container with aluminum foil and let the instant pot naturally release. I like to make extra for dessert throughout the week since it can last in the fridge for 3-4 days.
