Instant Pot Strawberry Shortcake Cheesecake Bites

February 24, 2023 Amanda Plott

I know that I’ve made mini cheesecakes in the instant pot before, but I still have some strawberry powder and strawberry cheesecake crumbs that I need to use up and for whatever ever reason it just seemed fitting to put them together in these Instant Pot Strawberry Shortcake Cheesecake Bites.

The way I was able to pack so much strawberry flavor into these cheesecakes was to use a strawberry powder. It’s basically freeze dried strawberries that have been ground down to a fine powder. That’s it. That’s all. Nothing more added than that - no added colors or artificial flavors there. Just pure strawberry goodness!…

Instant Pot Chocolate Lava Cakes

February 20, 2023 Amanda Plott

Yep. That’s right, you can make delicious chocolate lava cakes right in your pressure cooker in no time at all. These Instant Pot Chocolate Lava Cakes couldn’t be more simple to make with just a handful of ingredients and a few minutes of hands on time you can have dessert ready to impress! What’s better is that these cakes are low carb naturally.

I lightened these up by swapping out ALL of the sugar for a natural sweetener. I went with a stevia that measures cup for cup like sugar, but you could really go with any natural sweeter that measures just the same…

Instant Pot Pecan Pie Cheesecake

October 25, 2022 Amanda Plott

With Halloween this week, and Thanksgiving just around the corner, I thought it would be a good time to play around with a new cheesecake recipe. Desserts around the holidays are always a source of debate in our family. What to make, who’s making it, and when to eat it. I’ve got a handful of favorites to serve around Thanksgiving and Christmas, but I also like to come up with new ideas to throw out there. This Instant Pot Pecan Pie Cheesecake is definitely going in as a suggestion.

It’s pretty easy to make, especially for a cheesecake. The instant pot does the most of the work and quickly too. As it turns out, a pressure cooker is a really efficient way to make cheesecakes! This one though, kind of combines a cheesecake with a pecan pie, so it’s basically the best of both worlds…

Crock Pot Japanese Onion Soup

October 1, 2022 Amanda Plott

We all know that soup that they serve at the hibachi style steak houses and how good it is for being something so simple. It’s one of the main things that my kiddo happens to look forward to when we go, so a lot of years back - way back in 2013, I decided to try my hand at making the soup at home and it was a success!

Not only that, but I also made it in the crock pot, which meant that I didn’t have to have almost any hands on time. It’s definitely one of those ‘set it and forget it’ sort of things which makes it perfect for serving up as a part of an asian themed dinner…

Instant Pot Chicken & Dumplings

September 10, 2022 Amanda Plott

It happens almost every year around this time. It’s still pretty hot outside and I’m over here trying to entice the cooler weather by cooking up hearty winter sort of meals. And this Instant Pot Chicken & Dumplings is one of those! I love chicken and dumplings and I will literally accept any reason at all what-so-ever to make them for dinner. So when they were brought up in passing conversation a few weeks back? I knew what I had to do. Make chicken and dumplings!

This Instant Pot version of chicken and dumplings is SUPER easy to make and can be done with no fuss and no muss - all in the pressure cooker. To start this out, you cook up the chicken on it’s own in the pressure cooker. Then you add everything else in with the drippings from that. Yes. Everything. Even the dumplings!…
