Instant Pot Cherry Cobbler

You need this instant pot cherry cobbler in your life! With the sweet-tart cherries and the chewy cobbler topping, it’s the perfect instant pot dessert recipe for a holiday meal or just an ordinary Friday night. 

I love all things cobbler. I have been making peach cobbler for years but decided to branch out to cherry cobbler with Thanksgiving in mind. This year, I’m experimenting as much as I can with Thanksgiving dishes I can make in my instant pot. This cherry cobbler was for sure a hit and it’s one less thing that needs to dominate your oven. You may also want to try our recipe for instant pot pineapple upside down cake.

Instant pot cherry cobbler is delicious as-is but even better with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The sweet cherry filling tastes so good next to a cold spoonful of creamy ice cream. Plus the chewy and sweet cobbler? You will be in heaven!

Picking the right cake pan

When picking a cake pan for the instant pot cherry cobbler, make sure you pick one that is not designated for cheesecakes. All though I love my fat daddio push pan, it is not right for this recipe. You will want to use a pan without any crevices on the bottom, or your cherry filling will leak out. I recommend the fat daddio 7-inch cake pan.

A note on the cobbler topping

Cobbler topping continues to firm up as it cools. When you take it out of your instant pot, it may still seem soft. Let it cool down completely and the cherry cobbler topping will firm up.

A note on the cook time

This recipe originally called for 25 minutes on high pressure. I have since increased the cook time to 30 minutes after receiving feedback that 25 minutes wasn’t quite enough time.

12. Gently fold the ends of the foil sling over top of the covered cake pan.
