    Enjoy the sweet-tart flavors of lemon and summer berries in a delicious and light pudding, steamed in the Instant Pot or in a steamer. A refreshingly sweet way to enjoy summer!

    Individual lemon berry puddings served with berries on the side

    As a self-confessed sweet addict, I love spring and summer for giving me more excuses to indulge my sweet tooth without too much guilt. I always look forward to berry and stone fruit season. This time around, I decided to incorporate berries in a pudding. Lemon and blueberries are a match made in culinary heaven, and I added some strawberries as well…its berry season after all! This pudding is steamed in the Instant Pot, but you could steam it in your multicooker or steamer as well.

    What you’ll love about this Lemon Berry Pudding

    • Lemon is such a classic summer flavor, and the combination of berries with lemon makes this a very refreshingly delicious pudding. I’ve added blueberries and chopped strawberries to the pudding, but you can add any mix of berries that you have on hand.
    • Steaming the pudding is preferable to baking the pudding in the oven – not only will this keep the house cooler, and conserve energy (if you are using an Instant Pot), but the texture of a steamed pudding is so much lighter than its baked counterpart. Follow the proportions of ingredients in the recipe and your pudding will never dry out.  
    • Make them a day ahead of serving, they keep well refrigerated. They taste wonderful when chilled, and we can all agree that a chilled dessert is much more preferable to a warm one in the summer months! This pudding tastes pretty good on its own, but if you’re in the mood to indulge, serve it with a scoop of ice-cream or custard.
    • This is one of the simplest desserts to put together. Just a few ingredients, and minimal equipment. I haven’t even used an electric mixer to whip up the batter. Just use a whisk to beat the eggs, and to fold in the rest of the ingredients.

    Step by Step Instructions to make these Instant Pot Lemon Berry Pudding cups:

    • Get the Instant Pot ready while you prep your ingredients. Add 2 cups of water to the IP and hit Saute mode to preheat the water. Ensure your butter and eggs at room temperature (keep them out for up-to 1 hour before you start). Whip up the eggs with a whisk (hand-held or electric) and keep aside.
    • Whisk the butter in a mixing bowl.
    • To the whisked butter, add the flour, sugar and salt.
    • Mix well until the mixture has a crumbly texture. Add the milk to this mixture and mix again.
    • Add the lemon juice and lemon zest at this point. Mix it gently to incrporate. Then gently add the whisked eggs, and give it a couple more whisks, just enough to incorporate the eggs into the batter.
    • Prepare the ramekins – Butter the insides of the ramekins and dust them with a little sugar. Add the berries to the ramekins.
    • Pour the batter over the berries, until the batter reaches about 3/4ths of the ramekins.
    • Now cover the ramekins with tin foil to keep condensation away. Place the trivet stand (this comes with the Instant Pot) inside the IP and stack the ramekins on the trivet, as seen in the picture. In the Steam setting, steam the puddings for 30 minutes.
    • After 30 minutes, perform a quick release to release any steam and open the IP lid. Carefully take out the ramekins and let them cool for 15-20 minutes. You can have them as is, in the ramekin itself, or unmold them onto dessert plates. Serve with more berries, or custard or even ice-cream!

    Ingredients
      

    • 1.5 cups assorted berries I used fresh blueberries and strawberries. Frozen berries will have excess liquid, so fresh berries are preferable
    • 1 teaspoon butter to grease the ramekins
    • 50 grams /1.8 ounces/ 3.5 tablespoons butter at room temperature
    • 2/3 cup fine sugar
    • 2 eggs whisked
    • 2/3 cup milk
    • 2 tablespoons lemon juice and zest of 1 lemon
    • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
    • ¼ teaspoon salt

    Equipment needed:

    • 4 Heat-proof ramekins/pudding bowls
    • Whisk hand-held or electric

    Instructions
     

    • Prepare the Instant Pot or your steamer by adding around 2 cups of water to the pot. Switch on the sauté mode to heat the water while you prepare the ramekins and the ingredients.
    • Brush the butter inside the 4 ramekins and sprinkle the inside of the ramekins with a little sugar. Keep aside.
    • In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs until fluffy. Keep aside.
    • In a separate mixing bowl, beat the butter with a hand-held whisk or electric whisk till softened and creamy. To the whisked butter, add the flour, sugar and salt.
    • Mix well until the mixture has a crumbly texture. Add the milk to this mixture and mix again. 
    • Add the lemon juice and lemon zest and mix gently. Gently add the whisked eggs, and give it a couple more whisks, just enough to incorporate the eggs into the batter. 
    • In the ramekins, add the berries. Then pour the batter over the berries, until the batter reaches about 3/4ths the way up the ramekins. 
    • Cover the ramekins with tin foil to keep condensation away. Place the trivet stand (this comes with the Instant Pot) inside the IP and stack the ramekins on the trivet. 
    • In the Steam setting, steam the puddings for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, perform a quick release to release any steam and open the IP lid. Carefully take out the ramekins and let them cool for 15-20 minutes. 
    • You can have them as is, in the ramekin itself, or unmold them onto dessert plates. Serve with more berries, or custard or even ice-cream!

    Notes

    Use a separate silicone ring for the Instant Pot when making desserts. Try not to use the same sealing ring for both savoury dishes and desserts, as the smell from the savoury dishes gets retained in the ring. 
    When preparing the batter, beat lightly to avoid overworking the gluten in the flour.

      Can you convert the 50 grams (1.8 ounces) of butter to tablespoons or teaspoons? Thanks This looks delicious.

      • Shinta says

        May 08, 2019 at 2:51 pm

        Yes! I will make an update in the recipe as well. 50 grams is approximately 3.5 tablespoons of butter. Thank you so much!

      Hi Shinta, loved your recipe and wanna give it a try but I don't have ramekins. Can I simply use a bigger container and make it as one big pudding?

      • Shinta says

        May 08, 2019 at 2:40 pm

        Hi Archana... I'm so glad you liked it! Although I haven't tested this recipe for one large pudding dish, I would suggest you go ahead and steam for 35 minutes instead of 30 minutes, to ensure the puddings cooks uniformly. It should work fine! I'd love to hear back on how it went!

          Hi. Have you tried making this in a larger pan rather than the individual ramekins?

          • Shinta says

            June 11, 2021 at 1:59 pm

            hi, I haven't but you can certainly try it, and increase the steaming time for a larger pan. It should work!
