This rich, decadent dessert is perfect for Valentine’s day, and won’t keep you in the kitchen. You’ll want to make it year round, however, because it’s so good and easy. Incidentally, if you don’t have an Instant Pot, this dessert can be made easily in a slow cooker. It will need to cook on low for four or five hours, but will be equally as good.
16 Servings
1 18.25 ounce devil's food cake mix
1 3 oz. package instant chocolate pudding mix
2 cups sour cream
4 eggs
1 cup water
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1 20 oz. can cherry pie filling
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Whipped cream, or ice cream
- Spray a 3-quart round casserole dish that fits into the Instant pot with non-stick spray.
- Place the trivet in the bottom of the pot.
- Pour 2 cups water over the trivet.
- Make a sling out of aluminum foil to make it easier to pull out the casserole dish and place it on the trivet with the strip coming up on both sides.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix and pudding mix; beat in the sour cream, eggs, water, and vegetable oil.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish.
- Scoop the cherry pie filling onto the batter and swirl with a knife (don’t mix it all the way in); sprinkle with the chocolate chips.
- Cover, set the valve to Sealing, set the pot to Manual for 35 minutes. When the cycle has finished, release the pressure.
- Use the sling to remove the casserole dish from the pot and serve with high quality ice cream or whipped cream.
