The process of making creme brulee is a labor of love. But, because of your electric pressure cooker, you are able to pressurize at the right temperature and speed up the cooking process and time.

What Is Creme Brulee
If you have never had a creme brulee, you might be thinking what exactly is creme brulee. Basically, it is a custard that is made with a few basic pantry and fridge ingredients like eggs, vanilla, heavy cream, and more. You bake it to cook the brulee through, and then the magical part happens once you pull it from the Instant Pot.
You top your custard with sugar and then use a torch to create this carmelized coating on top. Then as you use your spoon you break into the top for that crunch next to the sweet and creamy filling.
I have 4 ramekins (4 ounces) underneath the aluminum foil and one on top. I placed another piece of aluminum foil over the top of this one before closing my lid.
