When we say easy, we really mean it! All it takes is a pie pumpkin, a cup of water, an Instant Pot, and a spoon. In just thirteen minutes, the Instant Pot softens the pumpkin so the skin peels right off and it effortlessly blends into a silky puree.
1 pie pumpkin
Step 1 Remove the pumpkin's stem.
Step 2 Add 1 cup of water to the Instant Pot. Place the pumpkin inside and seal. Set the Instant Pot to manual for 13 minutes. Allow for a natural release of pressure.
Step 3 Remove the pumpkin and gently scrape off the skin with a spoon.
Step 4 Using a spoon, cut a whole in the top of the pumpkin and remove seeds from the center.
Step 5 Place pumpkin in a large mixing bowl and stir until smooth (about 60 seconds).
