Instant Pot Cherry Compote Recipe {Paleo & AIP Compliant} + 10 Instant Pot Desserts To Try NOW!

It’s no secret how much I love my Instant Pot.

I mean, I even made it all 5 of my New Year’s Resolutions, for goodness sake.

But if you asked me to name my favorite thing to make in the Instant Pot, I think I would have a hard time narrowing that down.

I love making baked sweet potatoes, because they are lightening fast compared to the oven. I love making bone broth because it doesn’t make my house smell funky. And don’t even get me started about freezer meals.

But honest confession time. My favorite thing to EAT definitely has to be dessert.

And the Instant Pot is downright phenomenal at making them. Cheesecake? Flan? Rice Pudding? Mug Cakes?

The Instant Pot can do it all.

Warm, roasted fruit is certainly my most beloved dessert. But I rarely make it because I don’t have time to labor over the stove (simmering fruit for what feels like forever) — and I definitely don’t want to wait around an hour for the oven.

So when I learned that I could make fruit compote IN FOUR MINUTES in my Instant Pot, I was SOLD.
Instant Pot Paleo/AIP Cherry Compote

Don’t tell anyone, but right now I’m sitting at the computer inhaling a bowl of this Cherry Compote while I write. It’s the perfect blend of tart and sweet — and it’s ridiculously easy to make.

We enjoy it straight from the bowl, but I can only imagine how yummy it would taste served over your favorite vanilla (or chocolate!) ice cream, or with a brownie.

Pardon me while I go grab some seconds…

Instant Pot Cherry Compote {Paleo & AIP Compliant}

Instant Pot Cherry Compote {Paleo & AIP Compliant} Recipe Type : Dessert Author: Bethany Wright Prep time: 5 mins Cook time: 4 mins Total time: 9 mins Serves: 6-8 servings

Ingredients

4 cups cherries, frozen or fresh
1 cup apples, shredded or finely diced
2 Tbs. maple syrup
1 Tbs. coconut oil or butter
⅛ tsp. salt
1 cup water
3 Tbs. arrowroot powder (preferred) or cornstarch

Instructions

Add cherries, apples, maple syrup, salt, coconut oil, and water to the Instant Pot bowl. Stir well to combine. DO NOT add the arrow root powder!
Check the sealing ring, close the lid, and set the pressure valve to sealing.
Select MANUAL for 4 minutes.
Once the program has completed, quickly release pressure (do not quick release if you have doubled the recipe or you risk spewing fruit out of your pressure valve!).
Stir the compote well -- it will be very liquidy.
Select SAUTE, and stir in arrow root powder. Stir well until arrow root powder is combined and compote begins to boil.
Cancel SAUTE. Serve warm or chilled. Compote will continue to thicken as it cools.
If you're looking to increase nutrition, consider adding a tablespoon or two of collagen to your compote before cooking.

Yum
