Here’s a cozy and indulgent Slow Cooker Creamy Raisin Pudding recipe—warm, comforting, and perfect as a dessert or snack:
Ingredients (Serves 4–6)
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 2 cups milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Optional: 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon or nutmeg for extra warmth
Instructions
1. Prepare the slow cooker:
- Lightly grease the slow cooker insert with butter or nonstick spray.
2. Combine ingredients:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together sugar, cornstarch, eggs, milk, cream, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
- Stir in raisins and cinnamon or nutmeg if using.
3. Cook:
- Pour mixture into the slow cooker.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 2–3 hours, stirring occasionally, until pudding thickens and is creamy.
4. Serve:
- Spoon warm pudding into bowls.
- Optional toppings: a sprinkle of cinnamon, a drizzle of caramel sauce, or a dollop of whipped cream.
Tips
- Prevent skin forming: Stir the pudding halfway through cooking if possible.
- Make it richer: Substitute half the milk with coconut milk or extra cream.
- Texture check: Pudding will thicken more as it cools.
I can also give you a crockpot version with bread cubes, turning it into a slow-cooked bread pudding with raisins for an even heartier dessert. Do you want that version?
