Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

½ cup of butter, unsalted (1 stick), melted, cooled
1 and ½ cups of white sugar
½ tsp of pure vanilla extract
¼ cup of greek yogurt or sour cream (your preference on fat content, I prefer 5%)
2 eggs, room temperature
¾ cup of all-purpose flour
1/2 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder
1 package (3.4 oz) of instant chocolate pudding mix (any brand you prefer)
½ tsp of salt
½ tsp of baking soda
(optional) 1 cup of chocolate chips OR walnuts tossed in an extra 1 tbs of flour
1 & ½ cup of water for Instant Pot bottom of the inner pot

Steps:

Spray an Instant Pot approved push pan/springform pan (approximately 7x3) with cooking spray or grease with butter or shortening.
Combine sugar, melted (and cooled) butter, greek yogurt, and vanilla extract so it's smooth.
Set aside wet ingredients and combine flour, cocoa powder, salt, pudding mix packet, and baking soda in a separate bowl.
Mix the eggs in with the wet ingredients (sugar and butter bowl), one at a time so each one is mixed in before adding the other.
Once combined, start adding the dry ingredients in a little at a time, scraping down the bowl as you go.
(Optional) Add in some chocolate chips tossed in some flour OR walnuts.
Add the batter to the pan.
Add 1 and ½ cup of water to the bottom of your inner pot, add your trivet to the bottom of your inner pot and put your brownie pan on top of it.
Cover the top of the pan with aluminum foil to keep all the moisture in.
Have your valve set to sealing. Press manual/pressure cook and set it to normal cooking for 50 minutes.
Once the timer goes off, let it release naturally for 10 minutes. Then do a quick release for the remaining pressure. Turn your pressure cooker off, undo the lid, and let it sit for about 10 minutes to cool off.
Carefully take your pan out of your Instant Pot and let it sit for about 30 minutes to set. Enjoy!

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter (softened)
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
3/4 cup flour
1/3 cup cocoa
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Steps:

In a large mixing bowl, blend softened butter with a hand mixer for about 10 seconds.
Add in sugar and mix until well blended. Beat eggs into the mixture until all incorporated.
Add in vanilla and mix again.
In a separate bowl add flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until combined.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix with a spoon until combined.
Fold in chocolate chips and chopped walnuts.
Lightly spray a 7 inch pan with non stick cooking spray. (We used a 7 inch springform pan.)
Add batter to the pan and spread evenly.
Place a 3 inch high trivet in bottom of instant pot and add in 1 1/2 cups water.
Place a folded foil strip about 18 inches long on top of the trivet. This will make it easy to lift out the brownies after they are done cooking. Or you can purchase a silicone lifter.
Place pan into the instant pot and cover with foil. This helps to keep all of the moisture out while they are cooking.
Fold the foil strips loosely over the top of the brownies.
Place lid on instant pot and lock into place. Cook for 55 minutes on high pressure. Then let it do a natural release for 10 minutes. Then do a quick release with the remaining pressure.
When the pressure has all been released, lift the lid carefully and remove pan.
Let cool for about 15 minutes and then remove brownies from the pan. (We removed the sides of the springform pan.)
Serve warm with ice cream.

Tips for Making Instant Pot Fudgy Brownies:

- For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate or a blend of dark and milk chocolate. - Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will result in tough brownies. - Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached. - Let the brownies cool completely before frosting them. This will help prevent the frosting from melting. - For a fudgier brownie, use more butter. - For a cakier brownie, use more flour. - Add a tablespoon of instant coffee powder to the batter for a deeper chocolate flavor. - Swirl in some peanut butter or Nutella for a fun twist. - Top the brownies with chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or sprinkles before baking.

Conclusion:

These Instant Pot fudgy brownies are the perfect dessert for any occasion. They are rich, chocolatey, and fudgy, with a perfect crispy crust. The best part is that they can be made in just a few minutes in your Instant Pot. So next time you have a craving for chocolate, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed.
