Instructions
Get your 2 ½ quart casserole dish (for an 8- qt Instant Pot- adjust for other sizes) and spray it with nonstick cooking spray.
Place the cubed gluten free bread into the sprayed casserole dish. Sprinkle with the dairy-free chocolate chips and pecans (if using) letting them fall into the cracks between the cubes of gluten free bread.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the remaining ingredients and pour over the gluten free bread, soaking all of the bread cube mixture. Press the bread down into the mixture if needed. You will want the bread to soak up all of those lovely flavors of the mixture.
Spritz a piece of aluminum foil with nonstick baking spray and cover the casserole dish with it.
Place a trivet into the Instant Pot and add the manufacturer’s recommended amount of water. Fold a sheet of aluminum foil into thirds to create a sling and use it to lower the casserole dish into the Instant Pot.
Place the lid on the Instant Pot and set the valve to seal. Press “manual” or “pressure cook” for 30 minutes.
It takes the Instant Pot a few minutes to gets up to temperature. Once it has completed the cooking time, allow the pressure to manually release for 15 minutes before performing a quick release of the remaining pressure. Carefully remove the casserole dish from the Instant Pot using the aluminum foil created sling. It will be HOT- be careful!
Serve with dairy free whipped topping, maple syrup, dairy-free chocolate or dairy free caramel sauce, and/or dairy-free vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!
Notes
The aluminum sling is the best way to remove the dish from the pressure cooker. It helps you avoid burning your hands as the cooker itself will be very hot.
Letting the pressure release naturally allows the homemade gluten free pudding to continue cooking.
You can enhance this easy dessert by sprinkling some light brown sugar on the top and putting the casserole dish in the oven to broil for a few minutes to crisp up and turn golden brown.
