9 minutes on Manual with a QR. The peanut butter version is also pretty good! I have ramekins, but ended up buying the 6-ounce Pyrex custard cups she linked in her recipe blog because of the nicer shape: (you might have to setup a CamelCamelCamel alert, as they tend to sell out quite often)

I'm always trying to find new dessert recipes for my Instant Pot...cheesecakes always come out good, as does dulce de leche, various puddings (bread, tapioca, rice, etc.), and compotes (blueberry compote on top of pancakes, waffles, and ice cream is ridiculous!).
A couple years ago I perfected triangle hand pies using a cubed apple compote with corn syrup (for the gel effect) & puff pastry, plus corn syrup & powdered sugar icing for that nice glaze...used the Instant Pot for the filling & the oven for the puff pastry (I just get the frozen sheets, nothing fancy), super easy & comes out great!
Dandelion Chocolate's Making Chocolate is a pretty informative book. I highly recommend it. Beckett's The Science of Chocolate and Greweling's Chocolate and Confections (as mentioned in this thread) are also great resources.

Cocoa butters from different regions/species have different proportions of fat types.
I recommend the book I am reading, The Science of Chocolate (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Science-Chocolate-S-T-Beckett/dp/0854049703)
Cacao Barry chocolate pistoles is what I used while I was taking my chocolates class in school (JWU Denver). We used a variety of different percentages for whatever work we were doing for that day or our project.
