Place the macaroni, water, salt and butter into the Instant Pot.  Set Instant Pot on 4 minutes high pressure and do a quick release of the pressure as soon as it's done.  Take lid off and immediately add whipping cream and stir. Then slowly add cheese and stir until it melts.  You can add a little hot sauce and dry mustard for flavor if desired.

Mix all ingredients in a sauce pan. Cook and stir over low/medium heat just until it comes together as a dough and is just slightly sticky. Turn out onto the counter and knead until cool.  It will become less sticky as it cools.  Store in an air tight container or zip lock bag in the fridge.  I usually half the recipe and it makes plenty for 2-3 kids to play with at a time.
