Self Saucing Chocolate Pudding (Slow Cooker)

Submitted by I'mPat

"I recently acquired a new slow cooker and this recipe was in the instruction booklet."

 

• Ready In: 3hrs 5mins
• Ingredients: 12
• Serves: 6

ingredients

• 1 cup caster sugar
• 1 1⁄2 cups self raising flour (sifted)
• 90 g butter (melted and cooled)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
• 1 egg (lightly beaten)
• 3⁄4 cup milk
• 1 cup light brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons cocoa powder (extra)
• 2 1⁄2 cups boiling water
• 1 tablespoon icing sugar (or as much as you need to serve)
• 6 scoops ice cream or 6 scoops cream, to serve

directions

1. Preheat slow cooker for 20 minutes on high.
2. Grease the slow cooker bowl (would recommend if using butter to put on wax paper or baking/parchment paper to do).
3. In a separate bowl, combine the first 7 ingredients mixing or whisking well together.
4. Sift brown sugar and extra cocoa powder over mixture.
5. Using a spoon, gently and evenly pour the boiling water over the mixture.
6. Cook on HIGH for 2 1/2 hours, or until centre is firm (I think cooking time could vary depending on the size of your crock pot/slow cooker - mine is a 6L oval shaped cooker and this is the time they recommend).
7. Serve with sifted icing sugar and ice cream or cream.

This was a fantastic dessert, though I used low-fat milk, and the cooking time in my cooker was 3 1/2 hours. Probably different sizes, but it did not burn. This came together real well. I was going to add some chocolate chips to this, but the recipe looked fine as is I for one like chocolate pudding, the DS let hers cool in the fridge, and I had mine while still warm. They were both good either way. Tagged and made for PRMR. Thanks Pat for a nice dessert.<br/>. Forgot to mention served with some vanilla ice cream.

This is a great recipe and very easy to make, it has worked perfectly every time I have made it. Mind you I am one of those cooks who is quite liberal with certain elements, for example 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder becomes 2 heaped tablespoons, and if I don't have enough cocoa powder but I do have cooking chocolate, I melt the cooking chocolate and add that instead to substitute. As an experiment for a birthday dessert that has been requested I altered the recipe a little last night to get a chocolate mint self saucing pudding. So all I did that was different, apparent from 2 heaped tablespoons of cocoa powder, was to add 2 teaspoons of peppermint essence and 2 tablespoons of Creme de Menthe liquor to the batter. Then when pouring over the hot water I changed the ratio to about 2 cups boiling water and 1/2 cup of Creme de Menthe liquor. End result - delicious, worked perfectly.

The pudding tasted ok but i dont know if id done anything wrong, though i follwed the recipe step by step. it wasnt very chocolatey and the sauce was just gloopy. It was like jelly. Over all, not the nicest thing ive ever made
