    ✔️ Why you'll love this recipe!

    • An easy slow cooker self-saucing chocolate pudding.
    • Perfect for Easter with the addition of creme eggs.
    • Quick prep time.
    • Decadent and indulgent chocolate dessert.

    🛒 Ingredient notes

    Ingredients for self-saucing slow cooker chocolate creme egg pudding.

    For the crock pot chocolate sponge;

    Butter - unsalted and softened.

    Eggs - 3 large eggs at room temperature.

    Sugar - a combination of light brown sugar and caster sugar gives the best flavour.

    Flour - self-raising flour helps the sponge to aerate and rise.

    Baking Powder - the leavening agent.

    Cocoa Powder - use a good quality unsweetened cocoa powder and not drinking chocolate.

    Milk - whole milk or semi-skimmed milk.

    Vanilla Extract - or vanilla bean paste.

    Mini Creme Eggs - 2 bags of mini creme eggs (foil removed!).

    For the chocolate sauce;

    Sugar - light brown sugar, or for a richer taste use dark brown sugar.

    Cocoa Powder - for sprinkling on top.

    Boiling Water - creates the self-saucing chocolate sauce, which eventually sinks to the bottom of the pudding.

    For decoration;

    Cadbury Creme Eggs - frozen for at least 2 hours and cut in half with a sharp knife.

    🥄 Equipment

    Which slow cooker? I use a Morphy Richards Sear and Stew 6.5 litre slow cooker, which means I can brown and slow cook in the same pot as the slow cooker pot is safe to use on the hob! The 6.5 litre capacity serves 6-8 main portions, so it’s ideal for families and those that like batch cooking. There is also a 3.5 litre version for smaller households and this recipe fits perfectly into that one too!

    Don't forget to check out all of the slow cooker recipes on the blog.

    🔪 Instructions

    The recipe card with ingredient quantities and detailed instructions can be found at the bottom of the post

    One: In a large bowl mix together the chocolate sponge ingredients until you have a smooth thick batter.

    Two: Fold in the mini creme eggs and spoon the batter into a buttered slow cooker basin.

    Three: Sprinkle over the light brown sugar and cocoa powder, then pour over the boiling water.

    Four: Slow cook on high for 2.5 hours. As all slow cookers vary, it's best to start checking after 2 hours. You want the top to be almost set but still have a slight wobble.

    Five: Using a sharp knife, cut the frozen full-size creme eggs in half.

    Six: Place the halved creme eggs on top of the pudding and slow cook for a further 30 minutes to 1 hour.

    💭 Expert tips

    • Make sure the full-sized creme eggs have been frozen for at least 2 hours (preferably overnight). This will ensure they hold their shape as they cook into the pudding for the last 30 minutes of cooking. It also means they are much easier to cut in half!
    • Make sure you grease the slow cooker well with cooking spray or butter to prevent the pudding from sticking to the sides or bottom.
    • It's important not to overcook the pudding, as this can cause it to become dry and tough. Keep an eye on the cooking time, and remove the pudding from the slow cooker as soon as it's set and no longer jiggles in the centre.
    • The pudding will be extremely hot when it first comes out of the slow cooker, so make sure to let it cool for at least 10-15 minutes before serving. This will allow it to set and become firmer.

    🍴 Serving suggestions

    Serve the slow cooker chocolate pudding cake warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream (honeycomb ice cream and mini egg ice cream work well too!), whipped cream, or custard!

    It's the perfect hands-off dessert for Easter Sunday!

    📖 Variations

    • Salted caramel: Drizzle a generous amount of salted caramel sauce over the top of the pudding before serving for extra indulgence.
    • Chocolate orange: Add the zest of one orange to the batter, and use chocolate orange eggs, for a delicious chocolate orange flavour.
    • Nutella: Add a few spoonfuls of Nutella to the batter and swirl it in with a knife for a delicious hazelnut and chocolate combination.
    • Chocolate and raspberry: Add a handful of fresh raspberries to the batter before cooking for a fruity, chocolaty dessert that is perfect for summer.
    • Chocolate and coffee: Add a tablespoon of instant coffee granules to the batter for a rich, mocha flavour that is perfect for coffee lovers.
    • Swap the Cadbury creme eggs: Use caramel eggs, or why not try cut up Mars bars or plain old chocolate chips?

    🥡 Storage

    Store - Allow the pudding to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container to prevent condensation from forming and making the pudding watery. Store in the fridge for up to 3 days.

    Reheat - Microwave until hot.

    Freeze - Allow the pudding to cool completely, then transfer it to an airtight container or freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months. When you are ready to serve, defrost the pudding in the fridge overnight, then reheat it as above.

    ❓ Frequently asked questions

    Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

    Yes! You can prepare the pudding batter and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before cooking. When you're ready to cook the pudding, simply transfer the batter to your slow cooker and follow the cooking instructions as directed.

    Can I double this recipe to serve a larger crowd?

    Yes! This recipe can easily be doubled to serve more people. Just make sure to use a larger slow cooker or divide the batter between two separate slow cookers to ensure even cooking.

    Can I make this recipe without a slow cooker?

    No, this recipe has been specifically developed for slow cookers.

    Can I add other mix-ins to this recipe?

    Yes, you can add other mix-ins to this recipe, such as chopped nuts, chocolate chips, chocolate candy, or dried fruit. Just be careful not to add too many additional ingredients, as this can affect the texture and consistency of the pudding.
