Slow cooked desserts
While we were away on our little holiday, our host and hostess served desserts to die with each evening meal.
One was a cherry upside down cake like dessert, and .... yummo!!! I'm waiting for her to send me the recipe for that one! Another night she served a lemon chiffon pie with passion fruit poured over the top. I am also patiently awaiting the recipe for that as well. :D She cooks all her desserts in her slow cooker, and I was wondering if anyone had equally as delicious dessert recipes, that they too cook in their own slow cookers. If you do then share please as I have guests coming to dinner on Wednesday night! :eek: |
Yum!!! Can't figure out why you were in such a hurry to return home with that kind of treatment!!!
I never thought about cooking desserts in a slow cooker. Here are some crock pot recipes you can take a look at: http://www.thatsmyhome.com/slowcooker/desserts.htm |
Thanks Twink.
I do casseroles in my slow cooker, but I'd never thought of doing desserts. I certainly will now though as they were so easy to prepare, cook and serve. They'll even stay warm for you without spoiling in the crockpot/slow cooker. I most definitely am on the look out for lots of good recipes now! :D |
Thanks for the website, Twink! I've already printed off a few recipes from it. :)

Here is an awesome (tasting and smelling) slow cooked dessert recipe.
TRIPLE CHOCOLATE DECADENCE 1 1/2 cups water 1 package brownie Mix (or Chocolate cake mix) 1 large package chocolate pudding mix 1/2 cup chocolate chips 2 eggs, beaten 1/2 cup sour cream 3/4 cup vegetable oil Coat the crock with cooking spray. Place all ingredients in the order listed in your crock pot and mix well. Cover and cook on low 6 to 8 hours or on high 3 to 4 hours. Done when sides pull away from walls. Serve with cool whip, whipped topping, or vanilla ice cream. Serves 8. |
anyone try zucchini bread cooked in a crockpot??
I think I'll mix up a batch and take crockpot out on to patio to let it cook. It's gonna be 95* today here. We do that with our Showtime rotisserie cooker too. {set it and forget it-LOL} Crockpot Zucchini Bread Ingredients: * 2 eggs * 2/3 cup vegetable oil * 1 1/4 cup sugar * 1 1/3 cups zucchini, peeled and grated * 1 tablespoon * 2 cups flour * 1/4 teaspoon salt * 1/2 teaspoon baking powder * 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon * 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg * 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts Preparation: In mixing bowl with handheld electric mixer, beat eggs until light and foamy. Add oil, sugar, grated zucchini and vanilla. Mix well. Stir dry ingredients with nuts; stir into zucchini mixture and blend well. Pour into a greased and floured 2 pound coffee can or 2 quart mold (whatever you use, make sure it fits in your slow cooker). Place in slow cooker. Cover can or dish with 8 paper towels. Cover and bake on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours. Do not remove cover to check cake until it has cooked for 3 hours. Let stand 5 minutes before unmolding. http://southernfood.about.com/od/cro.../r/bl19c13.htm |
Thanks for starting this thread, Anne!
I put the links for the recipes in my favorites. Great idea!!! |
Hmmmmmm..I wonder if you can cook/bake the same desserts in a crock pot that you do in a camping dutch oven? I have a simple recipe for a yummy dessert for the D.O. Put a can of pie filling in the bottom, over it put one cake mix mixed with one can of soda pop. Check it after 45-60 min. When I made it in the D.O. it took about 50 min. with coals ontop of the lid & some underneath. A crock pot is slower I guess, so it would take a little longer.
I just looked in my camping cookbook & it gives these suggestions: 1)cherries, choc cake, coke 2)apples, spice cake, rootbeer 3)fruit coctail (no liquid), white cake, 7-up 4)blueberries, white cake, cream soda 5) cranberries, butter cake, cream soda But you can do whatever mixture you want. I think I did apple filling, yellow cake, 7-up. |
My Crockpot Zucchini Bread is outside cooking - I'll let you know how it turns out:D

Thank you everyone. The recipes all sound so yummy.
I'm definitely going to try the Triple Chocolate Decadence Dessert and the Zucchini Bread! :D I also like the sound of the Dutch Oven recipes and will give some of those a try too. I imagine if they're cooked over the same times and temperatures as the other slow cooked dessert recipes, they should turn out OK. But.............. I have some questions that may sound strange to you, but I promise you I'm serious! What is 7up? I know it's a soda of some kind but we don't have it here in Oz, so what would be a close substitute? Also what is Creaming Soda? Is that a yellow cordial (soda) as I think we do have one like that. Lastly, what size bottles/cans of the soft drinks do you use? |
