Let’s start with a few basic tips:

- I HIGHLY recommend you buy this non stick pot. It is easier to clean and will avoid the burn message too.
For reference, this is the pressure cooker I have and use for all recipe creations.
- 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.

It’s one of our favorite Instant Pot recipes for sure. Of course if you have a Mealthy or Crock pot Express this will work too.
You really don’t NEED the shredded coconut, that is just to amp up the flavor. I love it though. Totally up to you.
- We did continue to fool around with our original recipe though and also came up with this pressure cooker chocolate rice pudding you can try. It’s a great Instant Pot dessert recipe you can make really quickly.

Instant Pot coconut rice pudding
All models will work the same, just follow directions below and in recipe card.
Time needed: 14 minutes.
Instant Pot Coconut Rice Pudding
- Saute
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.
- Add ingredients
Add coconut milk, regular milk (or almond), 1/2 of your shredded coconut and sugar. Stir.
- Cook
Close your lid and steam valve and set to pressure cooking for 14 minutes followed by a quick release.
- Saute again
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. - Remove
Stir and once it thickens (will be quick) turn machine off and remove pot. Transfer contents to room temperature bowl so it doesn’t continue to cook. Eat or refrigerate and then enjoy
Want to make a batch of Crockpot rice pudding too? We have directions for that too.
Yes, it is a short cooking time under 20 minutes with NO need to watch it unlike the stovetop traditional method of the past.
- 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.
