Instant Pot Butterscotch & Caramel Dessert

I was gifted an Instant Pot a little while ago, and I'm not going to lie as I started unpacking the box it felt a little daunting. But as I read the instructions and looked up a few recipes I quickly realized that this was probably going to become my new best friend.

And man was I right. Everything is genuinely so quick and easy to make in it. And that my friends is NOT an understatement.

No matter what you make, from veg to meat to this darn delicious Instant Pot Butterscotch & Caramel Dessert, everything is painless and super quick.

I obviously wanted to make a dessert so I thought I would make something with salted caramel. Mostly because I've been salted caramel obsessed for years. I've also been craving those butterscotch flavours. So I did what any normal person would do and made a dessert with both.

I made a super easy butterscotch pudding that gets popped into your Instant Pot for 6 minutes (jip, that's all folks). Next, I made my classic salted caramel recipe and drizzled (okay, drenched) it on top.

I love adding this caramel sauce to my desserts - it always makes everything even more deluicious! You can find my SALTED CARAMEL SAUCE recipe here or in the recipe card at the bottom of this post.
