Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Mix
- 1 (approx 15 ounce) box Brownie Mix
- 2 large eggs (or use water and oil as called for on the brownie mix box)
- ½ cup (118ml) vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons (45ml) water
Pudding Layer
- 1 3.4 ounce box instant chocolate or chocolate fudge pudding mix
- 2 cups (474ml) milk (regular or nonfat)
For Serving (Optional)
- Ice cream or whipped cream
Instructions
- Prepare Slow Cooker: Spray a 6-7 quart slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Make Brownie Batter: In a bowl, prepare the brownie mix according to package instructions using eggs, oil, and water or substitute as directed. Pour the prepared brownie batter into the sprayed slow cooker, spreading evenly.
- Prepare Pudding Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and milk until smooth and well combined.
- Add Pudding Layer: Carefully pour the pudding mixture over the brownie batter in the slow cooker, ensuring not to disturb the layers too much.
- Cook: Cover the slow cooker with a paper towel and then place the lid on top to catch condensation. Cook on high for 2 to 3 hours, starting to check for doneness after 2 hours. The edges should look dry and set, while the pudding on top will remain slightly jiggly but not liquidy. Avoid overcooking to prevent the brownie layer from drying out.
- Serve: Spoon warm brownie pudding into bowls and top with optional ice cream or whipped cream for an indulgent finish.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Notes
- Cooking time may vary depending on your slow cooker model; monitoring the edges for doneness is more reliable than toothpick tests.
- If you prefer, use water and oil substitutions as directed on your brownie mix box instead of eggs.
- This dessert is best enjoyed warm but can be reheated gently in microwave before serving.
- Adding ice cream or whipped cream enhances the richness but is optional.
