Crockpot Dessert Recipes

One of the things I most love about my crockpots is that you can make breakfast, lunch, dinner and even dessert in them.I’d like to share a few dessert recipes with you. This first recipe is a chocolate cake that uses a boxed cake mix. I find them on sale and then buy them for later use.

1 box of chocolate cake mix
1 small box of chocolate sugar free pudding
4 eggs
1 cup water
¾ cup oil
12 ounce container of low fat or fat free sour cream

Mix all ingredients together and pour into the crockpot. Cook on low about 6 hours. Allow to cool about 2 hours before removing from crockpot.We love peanut butter and chocolate. You can add either chocolate chips or peanut butter chips to this recipe for a great added taste. Mix them in at the end and mix just enough to distribute them in the batter.This next recipe is very similar. It’s a blueberry cake, which also begins with a cake mix.

1 box yellow cake mix
1 can - 21 ounces blueberry pie filling
½ cup butter, softened

Pour the pie filling in the crockpot. Mix together the butter and cake mix. Pour this on top of the blueberry pie filling. Cover and cook on low for 2-3 hours.Try this recipe using a chocolate cake mix and a can of cherry pie filling.

In both cases, serve the cake warm and put a bit of Cool Whip on top.I happen to love Crème Brulee. Imagine my delight when I discovered this wonderful recipe could be made in the crockpot and that it was hard to mess it up.

you will need ramekin dishes and a crockpot for this dish. I found Ramekin dishes at our local bed and bath store. They had sets of four on sale for under $10. They are basically single serving casserole dishes that can go into your oven. So for this recipe, you’ll need 4 ramekin dishes and a crockpot large enough to hold all 4 of them. My 6 quart crockpot works great. Place the ramekin dishes in the crockpot and then add enough hot water that the water comes about ¾ of the way up the side of the dishes.

A Basic Quinoa Recipe

If you can cook pasta, you can cook quinoa without any trouble. Unlike rice, you don’t have to worry about it sticking to the bottom of your pan. One thing you do need to know is that you need to rise quinoa before you cook it. This removes the saponin from the exterior and prevents your quinoa from having a bitter taste.After rinsing, you will want to add one part quinoa to 1 1/4 parts liquid to your pot. Bring this to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and cook covered for between 20 and 25 minutes.

Most recipes suggest a one to two ratio and beginning with a boil, but I have found that the quinoa is much fluffier if I use less liquid and start with a simmer. If you want to try the one to two method, you will reduce heat after the boil and cook for around 15 minutes. This is a great method if you are short on time or have grumpy kids that need to be fed quickly!The above instructions are a good starting point, but the results will be about as appealing as plain rice or pasta. You will want to add some zing to your quinoa recipe!

Beans in Slow Cooker Recipes

This is possible to cook beans in the crockpot but it can be tricky. If you want to have a go, cook soaked beans for a few hours on high, checking the liquid frequently and adding more if it is evaporating quickly. When the beans start to soften, turn the setting to low and give them another six to eight hours of cooking time.You can have success with beans by cooking them in this way but it depends on the hardness of your water, the type of beans you choose and the age of the beans in question. They are not guaranteed to come out perfectly, even though the crockpot was designed with beans in mind in the first place.

For beans which are soft, juicy and full of flavor, it is recommended that you prepare them in the conventional way, by soaking them and then boiling them on the stove. After that you can add them to your favorite slow cooker recipes and they will come out nicely.

Beans are very  nutritious and with contains multivitamin most people love their flavor. There are many kinds of beans you can experiment with in your crockpot recipes, including navy beans, kidney beans, garbanzo beans and more.If you have not cooked with beans before, apart from the canned variety, why not try using fresh beans in your slow cooker recipes? You will be delighted with the flavor, texture and overall consistency of the dish.
