This instant pot creme brûlée with lavender is a decadent dessert that can be made in a short amount of time. It is sure to wow your guests while not being too much work on your part. Plus, you can even make it in the summer without having to heat up the whole house thanks to the instant pot.
I have to say that this instant pot creme brûlée with lavender is my new favorite dessert! When I eat it, I totally feel transported to Provence in France. I can literally smell the lavender fields as I enjoy each creamy, decadent bite. It feels like a fancy indulgence yet it doesn’t take too much work to make.
I absolutely adore lavender. It’s fresh floral notes are mild yet so calming. If you thought lavender was just for drinking in tea or using in a diffuser, you are going to be excited to learn that it is great in food too!
I make many dishes using lavender including our gluten-free honey cakes with lavender whip cream and gluten-free lemon cake with lavender. Both desserts are great for any gathering. I loved serving the lemon cake at our spa party because it was so fresh.
While you can use dried culinary lavender only in recipes, I enjoy using the combination of it and Dry Sparkling lavender soda. It is refreshing and smooth on it’s own but it also adds another depth of flavor to recipes. Dry Sparkling soda is one of my favorite beverages because it has a lower amount of sugar than others out there.
Dry Sparkling also comes in a variety of flavors including watermelon, juniper, fuji apple and vanilla bean. We have used it in so many recipes. One of my favorites are the vanilla bean crepe cakes. You can find their products close to you HERE.

April 17, 2018 at 2:03 pmI can’t wait to try this recipe. I’ve been meaning to try out the instant pot with a recipe that would have otherwise meant a precarious water bath in the oven. One question though, where do you find the sparkling lavender water? I haven’t seen that before.
