Crock Pot Chocolate Self-saucing Pudding We've seen several different recipes for slow cooker versions of everyone's favourite self-saucing chocolate pudding, but this one - with its remarkably rich sauce considering how little fat is actually added - is a winner! FOR 6 SERVINGS: 1 cup self-raising flour 1/2 cup sugar 1/4 cup cocoa powder 1/4 tsp salt 1/2 cup milk 1/4 cup canola oil 1 Tbsp vanilla essence 1/2 cup chocolate chips SAUCE 3/4 cup sugar 1/4 cup cocoa powder 2 1/4 cups boiling water Turn the slow cooker to HIGH and coat the inside of the bowl with non-stick spray. Sift the flour, sugar, cocoa powder and salt into a large bowl. In a small separate bowl whisk the milk, oil and vanilla together. Pour them into the dry ingredients, then fold everything together gently until just combined. Sprinkle in the chocolate chips and stir just enough to incorporate them. Pour or spoon the pudding batter into the slow cooker. Make the sauce by combining the sugar and cocoa powder with the boiling water. Stir or whisk to ensure there are no lumps, then carefully pour the sauce over the batter, getting as much as possible around the edges rather than all in the middle. Cover and cook for 2-3 hours. When the middle feels about as firm as the edges it is ready. Leave to stand for 15-20 minutes before spooning out and serving with cream or ice cream.

Yip - did my Christmas pudding in a crockpot this year.Just put the steamed pudding basin in the crockpot with boiling water, and leave on high.I popped it on in the morning for a 2pm eat - so double it usual cooking time in a pot.Ever so slight difference in texture but no one else noticed.

Haven't tried this yet. Slow Cooker Steamed Jam Pudding. Grease a 4 cup steam pud bowl or oven proof bowl,put a piece of baking paper cut to size and greased in the bottom, turn cooker on to high to heat up. Beat 90gr softened butter,with 1/2 cup sugar till creamy.Add 1 egg mix well then fold in 11/2 cups self raising flour, 1/2 cup milk,1 teasp vanilla. Put 21/2 tablespoons Raspberry jam in the bottom of your bowl spoon in the mixture cover basin with 2 layers tin foil squeezed around edges then secured with some string, lift into cooker add boiling water until it reaches about 2/3 way up the basin lid on and cook 3/1/2 hours on high. When done remove from cooker and gently run a knife around edge of basin turn onto a plate serve with custard and icecream. Can make with marmalade, apricot jam etc what ever you have. My thoughts if making in Crock pot may need to cook little longer as its not as hot as the slow cookers.

No trivet - just straight into the crockpot with the water coming up to about 3/4 the way up the pudding bowl.The water doesn't evaporate like it does from a boiling pot - no need for top ups.
I've done my Xmas pudding in a crockpot for the last few years and it always turns out beautifully. I usually make it about Labour weekend, let it cool, seal in a plastic bag still in the cooking bowl and put it in the freezer to mature. Then at Xmas I thaw it in the fridge for a day or two, pour over a little rum or brandy and reheat it for 2-3 hours again in the crockpot. Its always moist, dark and delicious.

If you haven't got a trivet use a saucer upside down, works for me.
