Instant Pot Bhapa Doi

Instant Pot Bhapa Doi / Steamed Yogurt Pudding / Baked Yogurt / Pressure cooker Bhapa Doi is one of the tasty Bengali desserts with thick yogurt as the main ingredient and it can be made quickly.

Yogurt and specially Chhas is one thing that my family cannot live without. And I always make many dishes using yogurt/curd like DahiVali bhindi, Tawa Aloo, Sev padine shaak, Tzatziki dip, and so many more.

I often make Bhapa Doi. If you guys remember, I have shared Caramel Bhapa Doi recipe last year when I started My YouTube channel. 🙂 Yes, Caramel Bhapa Doi was my First YouTube video.

What is Bhapa Doi?

Bhapa Doi is a traditional Bengali dessert recipe. It is Eggless dessert. Traditionally, the sweetened yogurt is steamed. Bhapa Doi is Hung curd or Greek Yogurt blended with milk and condensed milk and Baked with a water bath in the oven or steamed on the stove top. It is a must have sweet in the Bengali weddings and special occasions. Today, I made Bhapa Doi in Instant Pot as well as in steamer. Both way it came out so good. No difference at all. It can be flavored with saffron, cardamom, Almond extract, vanilla etc. It can also be given a fruity flavor by adding any fruit reductions. But I kept it simple with only 3 basic Ingredients.

How does Instant Pot Bhapa Doi taste?

This is a light and tasty cheesecake like Dessert. It’s very creamy somewhat like Italian Dessert Pannacotta. It is so luscious and so delightful that you savor the taste and texture long after it’s all gone. This Steamed Yogurt Pudding is smooth, silky and simply melts in our mouth.

Notes

The yogurt/curd must be full-fat and thick. If you're worried about curd is looking too thin, just use a sieve to separate some of the whey before measuring.

The cooking time may vary depending on the size of pot you use. If you are using One pot like cake tin or cheesecake tin, cook it for 20 minutes on high pressure instead of 15 minutes in the Instant Pot. Same with a steamer, cook it for about 20 minutes over high flame.

You can also make this dessert without milk with just 2 ingredients.

If you would like to make like cheesecake, Grease the cake tin with butter, add some crushed graham crackers(Crushed it into the grinder with melted butter), placed it in a greased tin and then add yogurt mixture. And cook it for 20 minutes on high pressure in the Instant Pot.
