Your slow cooker is undoubtedly one of the handiest appliances in your kitchen, but it's also one of those appliances that you only use every once in a while. It just so happens to be one of those things that gives off the impression of being grossly underestimated, but it really shouldn't. In point of fact, it ought to be at the top of your go-to list of things that are the most beneficial in your kitchen, and the reason for this is that it is wonderful for so much more than just keeping a stew warm all day. If we're being completely honest, dessert is most likely the portion of the day that you look forward to the most. When it comes to desserts, have you ever considered making them in a slow cooker? Coming home after a long day to the aroma of a warm, mouthwatering dessert wafting through the house is one of life's simple pleasures that cannot be matched by anything else. These time-tested recipes should be given a chance to shine.
Banana Cake
Bananas are a great snack, but even if your family loves them, it might be difficult to eat them all before they turn brown. The good news is that this makes them ideal for baking banana bread and banana cake. A fantastic upside-down cake can be made in a slow cooker if you're in the mood for something more conventional. You'll need more bananas than what you had left over after eating them, so it's best to prepare ahead of time to make sure you have plenty of overripe bananas. Some unique ingredients, like a dash of dark rum, will also be required. Neither the brown nor the white sugars make this a very healthy option, but then again, dessert isn't supposed to be.

Baked apples
Baked apples are fantastic, no doubt. They're tricky, so you may have passed on this concept before. If you use your slow cooker, this difficult dish becomes easy and delicious. Pecans, walnuts, raisins, cinnamon, and maple or coconut sugar stuff these apples. Butter is also present because butter makes things better. In a cheaper variant, oats and walnuts replace pecans as the apple's centre. Add cloves, ginger, cinnamon, and brown sugar for a delicious, budget-friendly single-serving dessert. (And if you replace the butter with coconut oil, you have a vegan version that works just as well!)
Fudge
Fudge is one of those desserts that you either love to make or you completely ignore. It's annoying, since constant attention and effort are needed. A slow cooker eliminates the risk of burning, so feel free to experiment! If your household is too chaotic for you to devote time to prepare conventional fudge, this is the next best thing. The only things you'll need are some chocolate, vanilla extract, unsalted butter, and sweetened condensed milk, and you probably already have them in your kitchen. The two hours it takes to melt and blend this fudge, followed by transfer to a silicon pan, are well worth it for the fudge's superb flavour. To be honest, though, fudge isn't exactly a superfood. This less-guilty slow cooker fudge is perfect for keeping on hand for when you need a chocolate fix but don't want to feel bad about it later. You can feel good about eating this fudge even if you're trying to be good about controlling your diet because it's made with coconut milk, coconut sugar, coconut oil, and dark chocolate.

Cinnamon rolls
Dessert for breakfast is the best, and cinnamon rolls are delicious in the evening too. It's light and fluffy—perfect after a heavy lunch. But preparing them is difficult, and most traditional methods need a lot of planning and waiting for the dough to proof before finishing the prep and baking them. You can do it all in a slow cooker! Make the filling in the ten minutes the dough rests, then keep going. After a few hours in the slow cooker, they're ready. Every busy cook appreciates their one down time: cooking. Instead of making rolls, cut the dough into pieces, add eggs, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, and maple syrup, and gently simmer. The result is a delightful dessert casserole perfect for any after-dinner table.
Cheesecake
It's another tasty but laborious dessert. You can make delicious cheesecakes in your slow cooker without a water bath. Simple is great, and this small cheesecake can help you determine slow cooker cooking times. Since every cooker is different, you can use this for a test run to figure out how hot your cooker is, which will help you estimate times when you make a more indulgent cheesecake.

Bread Pudding
Bread pudding is a good choice if you want something less sugary. It's a terrific way to use up bread that's too old for sandwiches and makes a warm, melt-in-your-mouth dessert that's comforting. This slow cooker pumpkin pecan bread pudding is perfect for pumpkin lovers. This pie is excellent for a pumpkin spice fix with nutmeg, ginger, and cinnamon. Serving the slow cooker chocolate turtle bread pudding with ice cream is the only way to improve it. This one is so delectable you'll forget you're eating bread with caramel, pecans, chocolate chips, and strong coffee!
