This Molten Brownie Pudding made in your Instant Pot is decadent, divine a chocolate lover’s dream come true! Scoop some ice cream on top and you’ve got a fabulous dessert.
I know it’s November and your mind might only be thinking pies and pumpkin desserts right now, but today let’s take a break from all that holiday baking hoopla and talk chocolate, Molten Brownie Pudding to be exact.
It’s no secret chocolate is my life (ok, so is peanut butter). I don’t know about any of you, but a chocolate dessert at our Thanksgiving isn’t unusual.
So even in the midst of all my fall baking, there is always chocolate baking going on.

So if you’re like me and you always have a chocolate craving then this Molten Brownie Pudding will definitely curb that craving.
Served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. . . .um hello!!! I could lie and tell you it was awful, disgusting and totally not worth the calories, but that would not be very nice of me.
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 7 tablespoons butter, melted & divided
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup milk chocolate chips
-
Pour the 1 1/2 cups water into your Instant Pot. Place the steam rack inside.
-
Butter a 6- to 7-inch souffle or baking dish with 1 tablespoons of the butter.
-
In a large bowl, using an electric hand mixer, beat together the sugar and eggs until light and fluffy, about 4 to 5 minutes.
-
In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa and salt. Add this to the sugar and egg mixture and mix until just combined. Mix in the vanilla and the remaining 6 tablespoons of melted butter and mix until just combined.
-
Pour mixture into the prepared dish and sprinkle with the chocolate chips. Place on the steam rack and secure the lid.
-
Select Manual and cook at high pressure for 30 minutes. Once cooking time is complete, do a quick release. Carefully remove the lid so that any condensation doesn't drip on the pudding. Carefully remove the baking dish using mitts or tongs.
-
Let cool for about 5 minutes before serving. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
If your dish doesn't have handles, you can make a sling with a piece of foil, folded in half twice, that's long enough to go under the dish and stick up 6 inches on each side, creating handles. My dish doesn't have handles and I didn't want to worry about making a foil sling, so I just carefully lifted it out with hot pads.

Does this use All Purpose flour, or Self Rising?
Hi Lynette! It uses all-purpose flour. If a recipe calls for self-rising, I will always specify that in the recipe.
I’ve made these several times. I use small ramekins instead of one casserole dish. They are a hit with the entire family!
Hi Susan! I’m so glad you love these, and thanks for letting me know it works using small ramekins. I love hearing from my readers, so thank you for leaving a comment.
Hello! Can this be made ahead of time and served at room temperature?
Hi Sarah! Yes of course you can, but it really is best served warm.
Does it need to be refrigerated?
I refrigerate any leftovers and then reheat it in the microwave for a few seconds.
