While most Instant Pot cookbooks have breakfast recipes and a smattering of dessert, I know of no volumes that concentrate on desserts, that is until now. This book is full of delicious recipes taking advantage of electric pressure cookers and their abilities.
None of the recipes is complex, in fact some use commercial mixes. What I particularly liked about this book is that it makes it easy to size and portion recipes for the cooker, something that always baffles me.
The longest chapter is sauces and components (i.e. frostings and fillings). With these you can combine these recipes with items you already have.
This is such a fab cookbook. I have only just started using a pressure cooker and have been struggling to come up with different things to make with it. After reading this book I don't think i'll struggle again and could see myself only using it to makes desserts (only joking!)
We tried the vanilla bean rice pudding which seemed like a good one to start with and it was delicious and really easy to make. I can see this being added to my dessert menu as it is ten times better than any store bought rice pudding!
So there are a few recipes that really stood out to me and i'm really excited to try them these being
Vanilla confetti cheesecake
White chocolate Macadamia lava cake
Tres leches Cake with macerated strawberries
There are so many that stand out! I'm also very happy to see recipes for chocolate syrup, compotes, ganache and lots of different pie fillings.
Thanks to the publisher and netgalley for an arc copy in exchange for an honest review.
I received a free e-copy of Instantly Sweet by Barbara Schieving and Marci Buttars from NetGalley for my honest review.
This cookbook is a delightfully colorful and tasty book of 75 desserts that can all be prepared in your Instant Pot. I love my Instant Pot and have done a lot of cooking in it but had no idea that you could prepare desserts in it let alone 75. Mind blown!!! Barbara Schieving and Marci Buttars show us how to cook warm and cozy breads, bright morning breakfasts, scrumptious cakes and pies, mouth-watering custards and puddings and even fillings and sauces. An absolute delight of a cookbook..

Wow I did not know you could make all these things in an electric pressure cooker. Just the photos alone have my mouth watering and ready to start making some of these delicious recipes. With a wealth of information on the actual pressure cooker or instapot this book tells you everything from start to finish. I found a recipe for Lemon Curd (which I can't seem to make any otherway) that I have to try. There is everything froms breads, cheesecakes, pies, custards, sauces and fillings and more. Just the cheesecake on the cover would make you want to read the book. So if you have an electric pressure cooker or instapot sitting in the closet collecting dust here is your chance to use it and make some great sweets.
I received this book in exchange for my honest opinion.
I was kindly given a copy of this book by the publisher for an honest review. I love cookery books and have a pressure cooker so when I saw this book I was really interested.
This is an American book but most of the ingredients are available in the UK. This book has a great selection of recipes, some with photos to accompany them. There is a section on Cheesecakes, this is a dish I regularly cook so was pleased to see some different variations. The recipes are easy to follow.
I would recommend this book if you want to cook some thing different in your pressure cooker.
This is a very informative book for the cook with a pressure cooker.
I am definitely going to purchase a pressure cooker after looking at this book.
So many recipes, and divided into clearly defined cooking genres.
Also full of information, hints, tips - so much you will just have to read the book to find out.
Thanks for the option to review this book.
Will be using it many times over.
I have had an instipot since they came out. It is still in the box. This book makes me want to unbox it, after I get done drooling over the pictures in the book. There is a ton of useful information about the instapot and the recipes sound delish! This book is a winner!
This book is definitely for someone who knows what an electric pressure cooker is (and has one)!. I didn't and don't, but will for sure after reading Instantly Sweet. What I loved is that immediately, the book makes mention 'why pressure cook desserts' and one of the answers was automatic portion control (as well as better taste and quicker cook times. Sold!). The photos are beautiful, so many tips and tricks (which I will need for sure), and the recipes interesting. I'd prefer to have the recipes numbered by step and a bit more simpler, but it's all good.
Mouth watering treats that will blow any diet! Simple to follow with not too many ingredience delicious high colour photographs that remind me of the 1950’s when sugar was not the badly it is today but a simple luxury. You know it’s okay to indulge every now and then! Here’s how to do it with big style!
