Wolfgang Puck,
owner of the famous
Spago restaurants and
one of the most influential
chef-restauranteurs in
America, is credited with
reviving California’s rich
culinary heritage. His
cooking innovations,
a result of blending fresh
California ingredients with his classical French techniques, are enjoyed
by world leaders, stars and fellow chefs alike. He established other
trend-setting restaurants like Postrio in San Francisco, Chinois on
Main in Santa Monica, Vert and Trattoria del Lupo, and his latest creation,
Cut, a gourmet steakhouse in the Beverly Wilshire Hotel. Home chefs
can also share Mr. Puck’s talents through his cookbooks and, of
course, through his appliances!

About Your Dessert Maker
Your Wolfgang Puck Dessert Maker is specially designed for use with the
Wolfgang Puck Electric Pressure Cooker/Stockpot, Model BPCR0005.
Use the small or large inserts to make delicious moist desserts, such as
steamed puddings, coffee cakes and cheesecakes. Start with the recipes
included in this booklet, and then use these as a guideline to experiment

All the pieces are designed to nest inside each other for storage.
To store, place the Cooking Rack inside the Large Insert, top with the
Small Insert and then the Insert Lid. Lastly, place the assembled pieces
on top of the Locking Storage Handle and pull the handles up and
around to secure in place.

Chocolate Lover’s Chocolate
Cheesecake
6 - 8 Servings
INGREDIENTS
For the Crust:
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
3 tablespoons chocolate cookie crumbs
For the Filling:
12 ounces cream cheese, softened in microwave 1 minute
1/2 cup light brown sugar
3 large eggs
1 large egg yolk
2 teaspoons excellent quality pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon espresso powder
4 ounces excellent quality bittersweet chocolate,
melted in microwave for 1 minute
For Serving:
Shaved chocolate curls
Softly sweetened whipped cream
Fresh raspberries
METHOD
1 Butter the SMALL insert generously. Sprinkle with cookie crumbs
and tilt and tap pan to distribute around bottom and sides. Set aside.
2 In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese and sugar. Whisk until
smooth, taking care to scrape bowl and ensure a smooth mixture.
Add remaining ingredients and whisk until combined. Pour into
prepared insert.
3 For easy removal, make an aluminum foil “cradle” with a .25” strip
of foil, folded in half lengthwise. Center pan on strip of foil. Add lid
and bring strips up and around pan, folding ends together to make
a handle.
4 Pour 2 cups of water into pressure cooker removable pot. Place a
folded kitchen towel in bottom to cushion pan. Carefully lower pan
into cooking pot.
5 Lock pressure cooker lid in place. Select Soup function and set timer
for 25 minutes.
6 When cooking cycle is complete, allow pressure to release naturally.
Unlock lid, tilting it away from you to avoid steam. Carefully remove
pan using foil handles.
Chocolate Cheesecake (cont.)
7 Chill cheesecake for at least 6 hours or overnight. (Cheesecakes taste
better if they age a bit and will stay fresh and delicious for
up to 10 days, refrigerated).
8 To remove cheesecake from pan, cover a large plate with plastic
wrap. Center over cheesecake and invert it upside down onto plate.
Place a hot, wet towel over the bottom of pan for a few seconds.
Now pick up pan and plate together and lightly tap both on side a
few times on the counter. This will break the suction that is keeping
the cake in place. Turn again so pan is upside down on plate. Lift off.
Repeat if cake will not come out. When it does, invert plate upside
down onto desired serving plate to have the pretty side of the cake
showing. It takes longer to explain this process than it does to
actually do it. Once you do it and see how beautifully the cake comes
out, you will never want to use a springform pan again.
9 To serve, cut cheesecake using dental floss held tightly between
your fingers to make as many cuts as desired. Press down to bottom
of cake, release one side of the floss and pull it through. Wipe off
floss and repeat. Serve with chocolate curls, whipped cream and
fresh raspberries, if desired.

Silky Vanilla Crème Caramel
The pressure cooker makes unbelievably silky custards and desserts,
such as this wonderful Crème Caramel and cheesecakes because the
temperature does not go above 250 degrees inside. Once you taste
and feel the silky texture of desserts made in the pressure cooker,
you will never bake them again.
6 Servings
INGREDIENTS
For the Caramel:
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1 drop fresh lemon juice or vinegar
For the Vanilla Custard:
1 cup whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon excellent quality pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs
3 large egg yolks
METHOD
1 Combine all ingredients for the Caramel in a 4-cup microwavable
glass measuring cup. Stir until all sugar is moistened.
2 Microwave on HIGH 3 minutes. Watch carefully. Once bubbles start
piling up in cup, it goes very quickly. Watch for the color to change.
The desired color is light amber. When you see this, carefully remove
cup from microwave. Swirl carefully; when color becomes
a medium amber color, quickly pour into either the large or small
ungreased inserts.
3 Pick up pan, using caution, and carefully tilt and twirl pan to
distribute the very hot caramel over sides and bottom half of pan.
Set aside to cool and harden.
4 In a mixing bowl, combine all ingredients for the Vanilla Custard and
whisk until smooth.
Crème Caramel (cont.)
5 Pour custard mixture into the caramel-lined pan.
6 For easy removal, make an aluminum foil “cradle” with a .25” strip
of foil, folded in half lengthwise. Center pan on strip of foil. Add lid
and bring strips up and around pan, folding ends together to make
a handle.
7 Pour 2 cups of water into pressure cooker removable pot. Place a
folded kitchen towel in bottom to cushion dessert during cooking.
Carefully lower pan into cooker using the aluminum foil handle.
Press foil down on lid.
8 Lock pressure cooker lid in place. Set timer for 20 minutes.
7 When cooking cycle is complete, let pressure release naturally.
When all pressure is released, open lid.
9 Carefully remove pan using the foil “cradle”.
10 Chill dessert for 1 hour or longer, if desired. To serve, invert onto
large plate with a lip or rim on it. Lift off pan, letting the now fluid
caramel drip onto dessert. Serve with fresh berries and whipped
cream, if desired.
