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.

Hi there, I learned to love Bhapa Doi on a recent trip to India and tried to make it during the quarantine. I followed the InstaPot recipe and the flavor cake out just right, but the consistency was off. Instead of smooth and velvety the Bhapa Doi was really solid and had a bit of a gritty mouthfeel, like cheap cheesecake. Any thoughts what could have happened? Did it maybe overcook?
Hi,
Yes, it could be the reason of overcooking.
Please can you tell me what is the size of cups you use – for the milk and yogurt? Thank you!
I have used US measuring cups.
1 cup = 237 mL
My bhapa doi is not coming out it is stuck in the container
It will not come out like panna cotta. You need to eat from the container only.
