Chocolate Fudge Pudding

This is my nephews favorite crock pot dessert recipe ever! I am asked for this recipe by everyone I have shared this dessert with – because it is prepared, cooked, and travels in the slow cooker it is perfect dessert to take out with you to share - especially if you have a slow cooker like this one. Chocolate Fudge Pudding is often requested when we are invited to pot luck dinners, and it is so easy to make!

I make the recipe right into the slow cooker insert – no extra dishes!

Slow Cooker Chocolate Fudge Pudding

2 Cups plain flour
1-1/2 Cups brown sugar, packed
4 Tablespoons cocoa
4 Teaspoons baking powder
½ Teaspoon salt

1 Cup milk
4 Tablespoons oil
1 Teaspoon vanilla essence

1-1/2 Cups brown sugar, packed
4 Tablespoons cocoa
3-1/2 Cups hot water

Get the slow cooker base out and find a measuring jug that 4 Cups of liquid. Half fill your kettle and set it to boil.

Place the first five dry ingredients into the slow cooker base and stir to combine.

Measure the wet ingredients into the 4 cup jug - start by adding the milk, then add the oil and vanilla. Stir and add to the dry ingredients in the slow cooker, stir well to combine. (Don't worry about scraping down the sides.)

Quickly and roughly distribute the second measures of brown sugar and cocoa evenly over batter, don't flatten, mix or stir! Place insert into slow cooker base.

Using the rinsed, wet ingredient measuring jug, add your measure of hot water from the hot kettle, hold a spoon just above the surface and gently pour (don't splash yourself) the water onto the spoon.

Do not stir! Cover and cook on high for 3 hours until a toothpick comes out clean.



This crock pot dessert recipe comes up to about an inch away from the top of the insert when cooking. It's a big desert. If you are dishing it out to a family, you will easily feed 12, maybe even more if you are generous with the cookies n cream ice cream!

I try to time the end of cooking time to be when I am serving the main course. Standing time (not left in warm mode, turned off) seems to make the chocolate sauce thicken, and of course, it doesn't make the ice cream melt instantly, which we prefer too!

This slow cooker dessert recipe was prepared in a 3.5 quart crock pot.

You can halve the ingredient quantities for this crock pot desert recipe. Halved, it will cook in 90 minutes and serves 6-8.
