Description

Indulge in this Slow Cooker Chocolate Lava Brownie Pudding, a rich and fudgy dessert featuring a molten chocolate center. Cooked effortlessly in a slow cooker, this decadent treat is warm, gooey, and perfect for satisfying your chocolate cravings without the need to bake.

Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Batter

  • 1 box of brownie mix (about 18 oz)
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup water

Molten Lava Layer

  • 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Brownie Batter: In a large bowl, combine the brownie mix, vegetable oil, egg, and water. Stir gently until just combined, ensuring the batter remains thick and not overmixed.
  2. Layer the Batter in the Slow Cooker: Grease the inside of your slow cooker with non-stick spray or butter, then pour the brownie batter in, spreading evenly across the base.
  3. Add Chocolate Chips: Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the top of the brownie batter. These will form the molten lava center as it cooks.
  4. Make the Lava Layer: In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is smooth. Pour this gently over the brownie batter and chocolate chips without stirring to create the lava effect.
  5. Set the Slow Cooker: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 2 hours. Around the 1.5-hour mark, check to ensure the dessert isn’t overcooking. The center should remain slightly jiggly when tapped.
  6. Rest Before Serving: Once cooked, turn off the slow cooker and allow the brownie pudding to rest for 5–10 minutes to firm up slightly for easier serving.
  7. Serve & Enjoy: Scoop portions into bowls, allowing the molten lava to ooze out. For an extra indulgent touch, top with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or fresh berries.

Notes

  • Do not stir the lava mixture after pouring over the batter to maintain the molten core.
  • Optional topping ideas include caramel sauce drizzle or crushed nuts for added texture and flavor.
  • If you prefer a firmer center, extend cooking time by 15 minutes, watching carefully to avoid drying out.
  • Serving with cold ice cream contrasts beautifully with the warm, gooey lava center.
