Carrabbas Italian restaurant

Have you ever ate at Carrabbas Italian restaurant? I love the Italian flavors at this Italian restaurant. There was this limoncello dessert I had there years ago that was fabulous. I really wanted to make a copycat of that lemon flavor dessert,

Instant Pot bread pudding

When I got my Instant Pot, it came with a little cookbook which included an Instant Pot bread pudding. Thinking of that limoncello dessert I had at Carrabbas Italian restaurant, I felt I could make a copycat recipe in the Instant Pot!

Limoncello dessert

My one friend got me hooked on Limoncello. This lemon flavor liquor really makes for the best bread pudding recipe. That limoncello dessert I had years ago at Carrabba’s would be amazing if I can make that as an instant pot bread pudding!

The hardest part of this lemon flavor dessert was finding a little pan to fit my Instant Pot. A little round cake pan was the answer. As this limoncello dessert was cooking, the scent was to die for!

Best bread pudding recipe

What made this the best bread pudding recipe? Truthfully it was because it is an Instant Pot recipe.  The steaming action inside the Instant pot is what made this bread pudding one of the best I have eaten. 

Instant Pot tips

In making this Instant Pot bread pudding here are a few tips I have about the Instant Pot.

• Buy a lifter rack. It helps get the pan out of the Instant pot without burning yourself.
• Get your self a second inner container.

This way you do not have to clean inner pot so much, and you can use it for various recipes on the same day. Like, make a spaghetti dish, which takes 5 minutes to make in the instant pot, yes that with uncooked noodles!

With the second container, you can whip up this limoncello bread pudding. You have dinner and dessert all cooked up in the Instant Pot.

3. Pour the cream mixture over the bread.
4. Put 1 1/2 cups of water into the inner container in the Instant Pot.
5. Using a sling, or the handles of the rack, carefully lower the pan into the Instant Pot.
6. Place the lid on the pot and set the Steam Release Knob to Sealing.
7. Using the "manual" button, set time to 30 minutes using the + or - button, or dial.
8. When cook cycle ends, let Instant Pot naturally release pressure for 15 minutes.
9. Then turn the knob to Venting for 10 minutes.
10. Open and carefully remove the pan, using the sling or the rack's handles, be careful removing the pan, be sure to wear at least oven mitts when taking it out.

2. Bring to boil, stirring, to dissolve sugar.

Notes

• When you make Instant Pot Recipes that require it to be cooked in a pan like this Limoncello bread pudding, you need to set the pan on the rack inside the inner container, not directly on the bottom of the pot.
• The Ultra Insta Pot does not have steam release knob from what I understand. Refer to the manual if you have that Instant Pot.
