If you’re looking for an AMAZING dessert everyone can enjoy this pressure cooker coconut rice pudding is it!! When my husband needed dairy free desserts I altered my homemade rice pudding recipe and came up with this. I dare say it is better than the original version and on our list of Ninja Foodi recipes too. (affiliate links present)
- We started with this Instant Pot rice pudding which was great and a hit on my site. It was so popular in fact that I started thinking outside the box when my daughter needed to try a gluten free diet. I tweaked a few ingredients and came up with this!!
I now opt for this one over the other if I have the ingredients in my cupboard. Here’s a peek at the first one we made below though. Topped with cinnamon it is something you should try as well.

Here are the steps to make Instant Pot coconut rice pudding
All models will work the same, just follow directions below and in recipe card.
- Set your pressure cooker to saute (brown/sear on Crock Pot Express) and add your butter until it melts, then add your rice and stir so it is all coated.
- Turn to off/cancel and add coconut milk, regular milk (or almond), 1/2 of your shredded coconut and sugar. Stir.
- Close your lid and steam valve and set to pressure cooking for 14 minutes followed by a quick release. Yes, it is a short cooking time under 20 minutes with NO need to watch it unlike the stovetop traditional method of the past.
- Open the lid and set aside. Set to saute and quickly whisk together your egg and evaporated milk.
- You want it to be ready when it begins to bubble so nothing burns, then add a bit of hot pudding from pot into the egg bowl to temper it.
- I have skipped this step before and it’s typically okay so no worries if you forget.
- Pour half into your pot and stir just a bit.
- Add the rest of it with the rest of your coconut and stir gently.
- Finally turn your pot off and remove ALL of the pudding or else the bottom will overheat.
- Serve warm or put into smaller bowls and into the fridge to cool.
