Instant Pot Pumpkin Puree whipped up quickly in the Instant Pot! After this recipe, you will never buy canned pumpkin puree ever again!
Pick up some of those pie pumpkins from your local market and make your own pumpkin puree quickly and easily.
This pumpkin puree can be made in the Instant Pot. I like to cut my pumpkin into large pieces when I put it in the Instant Pot but if you prefer, you can remove the stem and set it on the trivet as a whole pumpkin. Either way works to make pumpkin puree – and it’s super easy to make in your Instant Pot.
Instant Pot Pumpkin Puree
Take a few minutes to remove the stem, seeds and (if you desire) peel the outside of the pumpkin. Set it on the trivet inside your Instant Pot. Pour in one cup of water and cook on manual (high pressure) for 20 minutes.
Once it is cooked, puree in your food processor and use in all of your favorite recipes. Pumpkin bread is one of my favorites, and it’s even better when you load it up with lots of chocolate chips
I’ve also frozen pumpkin puree and used it in cold process soap. Pumpkin makes the most creamy, delightfully moisturizing soap for skin.
Plus – you can tell all of your friends and family that you love pumpkin so much you bathe in it!
Store the puree in a tightly covered container in the refrigerator. Or, separate into smaller portions and keep in the freezer to use in your favorite recipes at a later time.
