Total Time 1 hour 45 minutes

Cuisine American, Jewish
Servings 4 to 6 people

Equipment

  • 1 ½-quart round soufflé dish or similar-sized ceramic dish
  • 6-quart or larger pressure cooker

Ingredients
  

  • 5 large egg yolks
  • 6 tablespoons 2⅔ ounces sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon table salt
  • 1¼ cups heavy cream
  • 1¼ cups milk
  • 8 ounces challah cut into 1-inch pieces (6 cups), staled overnight

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, whisk together egg yolks, sugar, vanilla, and salt. Gradually whisk in cream and milk until combined. Add challah pieces and toss to coat. Let sit for about 20 minutes, occasionally pressing the bread to absorb the liquid.
  • Place the Instant Pot trivet in the bottom of the insert and add 1½ cups of water. Create an aluminum foil sling (16 x 6 inches) to help lift the dish. Rest the 1½-quart soufflé dish in the center of the sling, then pour in the soaked challah mixture and spread it evenly. Use the sling to carefully lower the dish into the Instant Pot, ensuring the foil edges rest along the pot’s sides.
  • Lock the lid, close the pressure release valve, and select high pressure cook for 45 minutes.
  • Once the timer ends, turn off the pressure cooker and perform a quick release. Carefully remove the lid, allowing steam to escape away from you. Using the sling, lift the soufflé dish out and transfer it to a wire rack. Let the pudding set for about 10 minutes before serving.
