As I mentioned in my (white) Rice Kheer recipe, using the instant pot to make kheer is a game changer. There is no stirring the kheer for an hour or two while it cooks. Just add in all the ingredients and push the porridge button. Come back to delicious kheer ready in 45 minutes. Since I posted the white rice kheer recipe, I got multiple request for a brown rice kheer recipe, which is preferred for health reasons by some people. For those who love the traditional method, I also have an amazing stovetop kheer recipe that you might want to try!

How to make Brown Rice Kheer in Instant Pot?
This recipe is very similar to the rice kheer, the two main differences are – Less milk as brown rice fluff less than white rice and more cooking time. I rinsed and soaked the brown rice for 2 hours. Then cooked them with all the ingredients for 30 minutes in porridge mode and let the pressure release naturally. Some folks have had disappointments with kheer in the instant pot, as the milk has curdled. Hence the foremost step in this recipe is to clean the instant pot, lid and sealing ring thoroughly. If you do keep separate sealing rings for sweet and savory foods, do use the one for sweets before making kheer. Here are other desserts made in the instant pot that you might enjoy:
Carrot Pudding – Carrot Kheer is made with carrots, milk, cashews, and dates, with the added aroma of cardamom & saffron. A delicious & satisfying dessert, with no added sugar.
