5. If you don't own a kitchen
timer, invest in one. When I use my slow cooker to make desserts,
I use a timer to remind me when they are done. I don't want to
over-bake my desserts.
Here are 3 easy dessert recipes
for you to try out in your Crock Pot.
Cherry Cobbler
1 (21 ounce) can cherry pie
filling
1 c. all-purpose flour
1/4 c. white sugar
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 c. butter, melted
1/2 c. milk
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
non-stick cooking spray
Coat the inside of your slow
cooker with non-stick cooking spray. Pour in the cherry pie filling.
In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder,
and salt. Make a well in the center, and pour in the melted butter,
milk, and vanilla. Mix until well blended. Spread evenly over
the cherry pie filling. Cover, and cook on High for 1 1/2 to
2 hours, or until a toothpick inserted into the topping comes
out clean.
Lemon Pudding Cake
3 eggs, separated
1 tsp. grated lemon peel
1/4 c. lemon juice
3 tbsp. butter
1 1/2 c. milk
3/4 c. sugar
1/4 c. flour
1/8 tsp. salt
Beat egg whites until stiff
peaks form, set aside. Beat egg yolks, blend in the lemon peel,
juice, butter and milk. Combine flour, sugar and salt, add to
the egg-milk mixture, beating until smooth. Fold into beaten
egg whites. Spoon into slow cooker pot, cover and cook on high
for 2-3 hours.
Apple-Cranberry Dessert
6 cooking apples, peeled and
sliced
1 c. fresh cranberries
1 c. sugar
1/2 tsp. grated orange peel
1/2 c. water
1/4 c. port wine
1 container sour cream
Arrange apple slices and cranberries
in crock pot. Sprinkle sugar over fruit. Add orange peel, water
and port wine. Stir to mix ingredients. Cover and cook on low
for 4-6 hours or until apples are tender. Serve warm with the
juices, topped with a dab of sour cream. |
