Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Layer
- 1 (approx 15 ounce) box Brownie Mix
- 2 large eggs (or substitute with water and oil as per brownie mix instructions)
- 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)
Toppings (Optional)
- Ice cream or whipped cream for serving
Instructions
- Prepare Slow Cooker: Spray a 6-7 quart slow cooker thoroughly with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Make Brownie Mix: In a mixing bowl, combine the brownie mix with eggs, vegetable oil, and water as directed on the box. Stir until well combined, then pour this mixture into the prepared slow cooker, spreading it evenly.
- Mix Pudding: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate or chocolate fudge pudding mix and milk until smooth and well blended.
- Add Pudding Layer: Carefully pour the pudding mixture over the brownie batter in the slow cooker, ensuring a gentle pour to maintain the layering.
- Cook: Cover the slow cooker with a paper towel and place the lid on top. Cook on high for 2 to 3 hours. Begin checking around 2 hours; the pudding will remain somewhat jiggly but watch for the edges to look dry and set. Avoid overcooking to prevent dry brownie edges.
- Serve: Once cooked through, serve the brownie pudding warm with optional ice cream or whipped cream on top.
- Store: Transfer leftovers to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
Notes
- Cooking time may vary depending on your slow cooker model; monitor closely after 2 hours.
- The pudding layer will stay moist and jiggly; a toothpick test is unreliable for doneness.
- Use nonstick spray generously to prevent sticking to slow cooker.
- Substitute eggs with oil and water according to brownie mix instructions if desired.
- Serve immediately for best texture; leftovers can be gently reheated.
