Slow Cooker Sticky Toffee Pudding – Your Stress-Free Holiday Dessert

“Oh, bring us some figgy pudding,

Oh, bring us some figgy pudding,

Oh, bring us some figgy pudding and a cup of good cheer.”

Nothing says Christmas quite like sticky toffee pudding. Whether you call it figgy pudding, sticky pudding or Christmas pudding, it’s one of the holiday’s most perfect indulgences. This Slow Cooker Sticky Toffee Pudding comes with an added bonus though—you can fix it and forget it.

You have enough to do getting ready for your holiday gathering, the last thing you need is to fuss over a dessert. For this recipe, you can make the Caramel Sauce the day before, and put your pudding in the slow cooker well before your guests arrive.

A casserole style slow cooker works best for this, but you can easily use a regular oval slow cooker as well.

You’ll need to have a clean cloth ready to place between the pudding and the lid. This helps keep the pudding from getting too wet.

You can keep your Slow Cooker Sticky Toffee Pudding on warm for up to two hours after it is done cooking. This is perfect for guests looking to make a little room after dinner for dessert.

Finally, this caramel sauce is addictive, so feel free to use it on all kinds of desserts. It keeps in the fridge for up to two weeks.
