Slow cookers, or crock pots, are a tool that the Internet has somewhat recently fallen in love with. They're not just for moms with huge families and no time anymore - everyone can benefit from a Crock Pot. Most people know that with a slow cooker you can cook meat low and slow and leave it juicy and pull-able, but did you know that you can use them for desserts as well? Here are three excellent recipes that show you how to make desserts that will wow whoever you feed.
Making dessert in the slow cooker also means that you have plenty of time between prepping your dessert and serving it, meaning that you can prep your dessert, cook your whole meal, and everything will be ready at the same time, notes Something Swanky.
Here are four of our favorite slow cooker dessert ideas. Good luck resisting making one every day this week!
Cinnamon Rolls from La Creme de la Crumb. Yup, you can make cinnamon buns in the slow cooker. They'll stick together and turn into a wonderful pull-apart loaf of buns, and the smell is absolutely irresistible.
Death by Chocolate Dump Cake from Homemaking Hacks. This cake "cheats" by using pudding mix in the batter, but the result is gooey, moist chocolate cake that overflows with chocolate flavor.
Apple Crisp from The Taylor House. This recipe is extremely simple, taking only fifteen minutes to prepare before letting the slow cooker work its magic caramelizing the onions and crisping the oatmeal crumble. It's going to be hard to not throw the lid away in abandon and eat the whole thing before it's ready, but it's 100 percent worth the wait. Serve with vanilla ice cream.
S'mores Brownies from Something Swanky. These will satisfy the kid in you and make you relive campfire memories without having to go fetch any wood from the forest.
Individual Cheesecakes from Ricardo Cuisine. These classic cheesecakes with graham cracker crust come together super quickly, and bake right in their serving dishes.
