SCD Recipe: Instant Pot Vanilla Custard

My Instant Pot has proved to be a valuable tool for cooking for the Specific Carbohydate Diet (SCD). It saves time and energy in the kitchen.

I decided to try making custard in the instant pot. I love baked custard and I was a little skeptical that it would come out just as good being made in a pressure cooker, but I didn’t need to be. The Instant Pot custard came out just as good as oven-baked and took a few less steps to prepare.


Because this recipe makes six servings and my Instant Pot can only hold three remekins at a time, I had to cook it in two batches. It wasn’t really a time saver, but it did take less effort.

Typically with a baked custard I warm the coconut milk on the stove an go through the process of tempering the eggs. With this I just mixed everything together cold and it was completely fine. I also didn’t have to fill a pan with water to set the custard cups into while baking. I was able to get completely cleaned up in no time, with no extra pans to wash!
