Wait, you can make what in your slow-cooker. Yes, you heard right. Desserts. When you think of whipping something up in your trusty slow-cooking machine, lamb shanks and pork shoulder usually are the first recipes that come to mind.
But did you know the nifty appliance that you reserved for savoury winter warmers can actually make divine desserts?
Think caramel pudding, chocolate cake and even a peach cobbler. Here’s our round-up of BHG’s top ten slow cooker desserts for you to treat yourself to.
1. Double chocolate self-saucing pudding
Folks will be pudding their hands up for seconds of this devilish pudding. Chocs away!
2. Butterscotch fondue
Fondue, passé? hardly. Rich, creamy butterscotch sauce—kept warm and melty in the slow cooker—is the sweetest thing on the spring buffet table. Other dippers to try— marshmallows, shortbread cookies … or just eat it with a spoon!
3. Blueberry and lemon curd bread pudding
With bursts of refreshing blueberry and tangy lemon curd, what’s not to love about this creamy bread pudding?
4. Simple chocolate cake
A classic chocolate cake ‘baked’ without the use of a tin or the oven. Amazing!
While there’s no shortage of self-saucing puddings, this decadent chocolate pud is one to remember. With all the tiramisu flavours you love and spiked with liqueur, this boozy dessert won’t last long.
Two stone-fruit classics, a peach melba and a peach cobbler become one in this dessert, and the results are divinely delicious.
7. Slow cooker lemon-raspberry cheesecake
Create silky, luscious cheesecakes with the help of a slow cooker water bath.
8. Slow cooker dark chocolate pudding with pears
By delegating dessert to the slow cooker, you can pour your heart into the main course and reward yourself with a steaming bowl of slow cooked self saucing pudding at the end.
9. Self-saucing sticky date and banana pudding
Sticky date is always a hit with kids and adults. Serve with a dollop of cream for an after-dinner treat.
10. Slow-cooked steamed jam pudding
Sticky and crumbly all at once, this classic pud will top off any meal in style. Don’t fancy raspberry jam? Use your favourite flavour instead.
