Pour 1 quart of cream into the Instant Pot.

Press the yogurt button to turn on the yogurt setting.

Press the adjust button until it says 'boil'.

Once the boil cycle finishes, set the Instant Pot to 'keep warm' for 12 hours.

If your Instant Pot only does 10 hours at a time, set it for an extra 2 hours after that.

After 12 hours, transfer the whole pot to the refrigerator with the lid still on and chill for 12 hours without disturbing.

After chilling, gently pull back a small section of the top thick layer of cream to reveal the liquid underneath.

Pour the thin liquid (whey) into a jar for later use.

Scoop off the solid cream from the top, which should yield about 1 and 2/3 cups of clotted cream.

Store the clotted cream in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
