Check out these fabulous Instant Pot low carb desserts for your Instant Pot or Pressure Cooker. All the flavor, none of the sugar of regular desserts. I really do have a sweet tooth and while I can deal with the rest of the mandates of a low carb/keto diet relatively well, two things will call to me: rice, and dessert.
So I’ve had to learn to create low carb desserts for myself and a few of those are below. But I also wanted to share some others that looked just delicious to me.
I’ve created this roundup of not just low carb desserts, but low carb desserts that you can make in your Instant Pot or Pressure cooker. So do check these out and if you have a particular dessert you’re missing, let me know and I can see about trying to create a low-carb version of that dessert for you.
1.Chocolate Cheesecake
This recipe from www.Lowcarbyum.com is only one of her many, amazing low carb recipes. How great does this one look?
2.Apple and Lavender Upside Down Cake
I love the combination of apple and lavender. I am looking forward to trying this one.
3.KETO RICOTTA LEMON CHEESECAKE
This is one of my favorite cheesecake recipes, and because it’s crustless, it’s also fast.
4, EASY KEY LIME CURD
This one isn’t technically low carb, but it could easily be made so with using swerve or some other sweetener. It looks so delicious and simple, that I had to include it in here.
5.PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE
It’s hard to go wrong with peanut butter and chocolate, right?
6.PEACH AND BLUEBERRY PARFAIT
This isn’t made in the Instant Pot, but it uses the Greek Yogurt that all of us love to make in our Instant Pots. Here’s my simple recipe for how to make Greek Yogurt.
7.THAI COCONUT PANDAN CUSTARD
Yes this does require you to buy a pandan extract, but I do feel it’s worth it. But if you aren’t sure, try it with Vanilla extract at first and if you like it, you can get the pandan extract. It’s nothing like anything else I’ve tried before. I also use to make a sweet coconut rice that I need to post.
8.GUILT-FREE CHOCOLATE PUDDING CAKE
Take the word chocolate. Add Cake. Now you add in pudding. I’m already ready. But when you add the worlds guilt-free, by golly I’m there!
9.PALEO MUG CAKES
A good way to make sure you don’t make and eat too much cake in one go. I also like the thought of making different flavors at once
10.KETO ALMOND CARROT CAKE
This is a great base recipe that you can mix up with different spices and flavors.
11.KETO COCONUT ALMOND CAKE
We love this recipe a little too much at our house.
12. QUICK AND EASY KETO CHEESECAKE
This was one of the first cheesecakes I ever made, and to this day, it remains one of my favorites.
13. Keto Dark Chocolate Walnut Cake
Lucky number 13 is one of my most popular cake recipes for the Instant Pot, or oven. I really do think this is one of my best cake recipes, and of course it is STUPID simple.

This pressure cooker dry urad dal or sookhi urad dal recipe is for a classic Punjabi dish that you will probably never get outside of someone’s home. Easy, protein-packed vegan punch of deliciousness.
It’s not sexy, it’s not served in restaurants, few non-Punjabis have probably tried it–but it is absolutely delicious.
This was one of my favorite dals to eat as a child, but it’s not easy to make and needs babysitting because you need to get the proportion of water and dal just right to make it dry.
But using your Instant Pot or Pressure cooker to make this Sookhi Urad Dal makes this dish a breeze.
BUT FIRST! A HINDI LESSON
Sookhi means dry. Typically dals are liquid, like thick soups. What makes this dal different is that it’s made to be a dry accompaniment to your chappatis, rotis, naans, etc.
This actually makes it very handy for travel, when you don’t want to be messing with a bunch of sloshing liquid, but still want a little dal protein in your meal.
This recipe is actually perfect for using the Kuhn Rikon pull chop I recommend for the tomatoes and onions. Speeds up prep even more.
TIPS FOR MAKING PRESSURE COOKER SOOKHI URAD DAL SUCCESSFULLY
- Use SPLIT urad dal, not whole. This is a white, small little cute dal. Do not try this with whole urad dal. You’ll have a crunchy mess on your hands
- You will wonder if it has enough water in it. I stood and stared for a long time because I wanted just the right amount of water so as to not have to evaporate the excess and potentially overcook the dal.
- If you just can’t stand it, put an extra 1/4 cup of water just in case.
- Do not shortcut the NPR cycle. The dal continues to cook with a lowered chance of burning while it is releasing pressure naturally.
EQUIPMENT & INGREDIENTS YOU MAY NEED TO MAKE PRESSURE COOKER SOOKHI URAD DAL RECIPE:
- Instant Pot Mini Duo or Instant Pot 6 quart or Instant Pot 8 Quart
- Measuring cups
- Measuring Spoons
- Cutting Board (my fav one)
- Good set of Kitchen knives
- Pull chop for veggies if you struggle with your hands or just like evenly chopped veggies
