No need to heat the kitchen for this decadent dessert; Slow Cooker Berry Pudding is done on the counter in a slow cooker; it’s quick and easy. Just stir together a few basic ingredients in a bowl – no mixer needed. Once that’s spread on the bottom of the slow cooker, fresh berries are mixed with a little sugar and spread over the top. Pour a cup of hot water over, put on the lid and wait a couple of hours- that’s it!

It’s okay to use other types of berries in this pudding or vary the amounts; it’s a good idea, however, to avoid strawberries since they don’t do well when cooked. As the pudding cooks, it makes its own sauce to spoon over the moist pudding; whipped cream or ice cream make it even better.
