How to make rice pudding in an instant pot pressure

Lock the lid to safety and turn the valve to the sealing position. Select the manual button or pressure cook on high pressure and select the timer for 10 minutes. When the IP completes its cycle, leave to natural pressure release for 10 minutes then carefully do a quick pressure release. Stir in the condensed milk into the rice. The rice would thicken as it cools but it is too thin, select the sauté function and stir continuously until it thickens to the desired constituency.
