Once boiling, turn the heat down to low and let simmer, uncovered, for around 30 minutes or until creamy. Make sure to stir every so often.
- Instant Pot Directions: Place all ingredients into your Instant Pot, close, and seal. Cook on high for 10 minutes with a quick-release. It will take some time for your pressure cooker to heat up, but it will eventually start counting down from 10.
