Slow Cooker Chocolate Caramel Puddings

Slow Cooker Chocolate Caramel Puddings are the perfect midwinter treat, and these little puddings have a secret. A special melting chocolate caramel treat inside that makes them even more delicious.

A melting centre

Inside each of the little Chocolate Caramel Puddings, there is a piece of caramel-filled chocolate bar. Or you can use chocolate caramel sweets such as rolos.  As the puddings cook the chocolate and caramel melt inside, what a decadent treat!  

Why use a slow cooker to cook the chocolate caramel puddings?

I use my Slow Cooker for steamed puddings because it gently bubbles away and I can go and do other things. I know I can leave it to do its thing without worrying about the pan boiling dry.  

Can I still make Chocolate Caramel Puddings without a slow cooker?

You can steam the puddings in a saucepan with a saucer in the bottom. Or, if you have a steamer then use that. Just keep checking the pan so that it doesn’t boil dry.

How do I serve the Slow Cooker Chocolate Caramel Puddings?

Serve the Chocolate Caramel Puddings with Chocolate Caramel Sauce.  If that is too rich then serve with plain pouring cream, ice cream, or custard.

What is Chocolate Caramel Cream?

It is easy to make the Chocolate Caramel Cream, just gently melt the chocolate caramels in the cream and serve.

Ingredients

 

For the pudding

• 50 g butter
• 35 g soft brown sugar
• 110 g self-raising flour
• 1 large egg
• 25 g cacao or cocoa powder
• 4 tbsp milk
• 1 pinch of salt
• 1 square of caramel filled chocolate bar or chocolate caramel sweet e.g. rolo

For the sauce

• 150 ml single cream
• 50 g chocolate caramels sweets or caramel filled chocolate bar

Instructions

 

• Butter 3 x 6 oz mini pudding basins and put a circle of baking parchment in the bases of the basins.
• Mix all the pudding ingredients, except the chocolates, with a spoon or electric mixer
• Half fill the pudding basin
• Add the chocolate into the centre and fill the rest evenly between the basins.
• Cover with baking parchment and foil and tie with string.
• Boil a kettle and pour the boiling water into the slow cooker pot and add the puddings, the water should come about half way up the pudding basins.
• Put the lid on the slow cooker and cook on high for 1 1/2 hours until the pudding has risen and the centre looks firm.
• The puddings should slide out of their basins, but it they don’t then ease round them with a blunt knife or small spatula.
• To make the sauce
• Place the cream and chocolate caramel into a small pan and warm slowly until the sweets have melted into the cream, serve warm over the puddings..

Notes

You can make the puddings in advance and reheat in the microwave for 30 seconds before serving. Double up the quantities to make enough for six or make a big pudding and steam for 2 – 2 1/2 hours.
