Slow Cooker Self-Saucing Chocolate Banana Pudding

Slow Cooker Self-Saucing Chocolate Banana Pudding- a simple, no-fuss, indulgent dessert made in the slow cooker. Chocolate and banana pudding with a chocolate sauce on the bottom. Perfect for using up ripe bananas.

Jump to Recipe In the current climate, it's more important than ever that we make sure that we limit food waste. I already have quite a few recipes for using up ripe bananas but, when I found I had two on the turn this week, I wanted to make a dessert, rather than cake or muffins.

This chocolate banana pudding is a throw it all in, mix it all up and leave it type of recipe, with the bonus of making its own chocolatey sauce. No fancy baking skills required, just you, a hand mixer and your slow cooker. It's ideal for serving up to a big group and you don't need anything with it since is has its own sauce. Of course that doesn't mean you can't serve it with cream, custard or ice cream; I won't stop you!

Top Tips

• If you have more than two bananas available, go ahead and use them. Three or four will be fine too.
• All slow cookers cook differently so, after an hour and a half, check through the lid. If the sponge looks mostly matte on top, then it's probably ready.
• This dessert doesn't keep all that well, so it's best eaten freshly cooked, or within a couple of days. It will be rubbery if eaten cold, so warm it through properly if eating the next day.
