Instant Pot Desserts: Chinese New Year Cake and French Clafoutis
Show Notes

This week on Three Kitchens Podcast, Heather tries out a couple of different desserts in the Instant Pot pressure cooker: a Chinese New Year Cake, and a French Clafoutis custard tart.

Let's start with the Chinese New Years Cake, or Nian Gao. It is a sweet glutinous sticky rice cake that is enjoyed year round, but often is a must-have during Chinese New Year, as the name means to give progress or advancement, promising a better year ahead. The base of this cake is glutinous rice flour, sugar and starch. It is served sliced as is, or the slices may be fried, or even dipped in egg and then fried.

A Clafoutis is a classic French dessert of fruit (raspberries in our case) covered in a layer of thick custard and baked. Or you can make it in the pressure cooker as Heather did.  Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm.

Both of these recipes were new to us, and reviews were a little mixed. We'd love to know what you think! Let us know - you can leave a comment on the recipe on our blog.
