Oh that’s a cozy one 🥰 — Slow Cooker Creamy Raisin Pudding is warm, comforting, and old-fashioned in the best way. It’s soft, custardy, and lightly spiced — perfect for chilly evenings.
Here’s a simple, reliable version:
Slow Cooker Creamy Raisin Pudding
Serves 6–8
Ingredients
- 1 cup raisins
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp nutmeg (optional)
- 1 cup milk
- 2 eggs
- 3 tbsp melted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
1️⃣ Soften the Raisins
- Place raisins in warm water.
- Let soak 10–15 minutes, then drain (this keeps them plump and soft).
2️⃣ Mix Dry Ingredients
In a bowl, whisk together:
- Flour
- Sugar
- Baking powder
- Salt
- Cinnamon
- Nutmeg
3️⃣ Mix Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, whisk:
- Milk
- Eggs
- Melted butter
- Vanilla
4️⃣ Combine
- Stir wet ingredients into dry ingredients until just combined.
- Fold in drained raisins.
5️⃣ Slow Cook
- Lightly grease your slow cooker.
- Pour batter in and smooth top.
- Cover and cook:
- Low: 2–3 hours
- High: 1½–2 hours
Pudding is done when center is set but still soft and moist.
Optional Creamy Sauce (Highly Recommended 🍮)
In a saucepan combine:
- ½ cup sugar
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp butter
- ½ tsp vanilla
Simmer 3–4 minutes until slightly thickened. Pour warm over pudding before serving.
🔥 Tips
- Don’t overcook — slow cookers vary. Check early.
- Place a paper towel under the lid to absorb condensation (prevents soggy top).
- Add a splash of rum for a richer flavor.
If you’d like, I can give you a steamed British-style raisin pudding version or a bread pudding-style creamy raisin dessert next.
