Slow Cooker 4-Ingredient Hot Fudge Brownies
These hot fudge brownies start with a family-size brownie mix blended with eggs and vegetable oil, then get layered with hot fudge sauce for a rich center. The batter is divided so part goes into the greased slow cooker first, the fudge is drizzled over it, and the rest of the batter is spread on top.
The brownies cook on LOW until the edges are set and the center is just slightly gooey. After a short cooling period, they are served warm, with more hot fudge sauce drizzled over the top if desired.

5-Ingredient Slow Cooker Lemon Lush with Yellow Cake Mix
This lemon lush dessert uses dry yellow cake mix as the base, paired with lemon pie filling, milk, melted butter, and vanilla for a bright, custardy finish. The lemon mixture is mixed until mostly smooth, then poured over the dry cake mix already spread in the slow cooker.
The cake mix is not stirred into the filling, which helps the layers bake separately as it cooks. The slow cooker is covered on HIGH or LOW until the edges are set and bubbling and the center is still slightly glossy, then it rests covered before serving.

Slow Cooker Amish Rice Pudding
This Amish rice pudding combines uncooked white rice with whole milk, sugar, eggs, vanilla, and cinnamon for a creamy, classic dessert. The rice goes into the greased slow cooker first, then the milk mixture is whisked together and poured over it before being gently stirred in.
It cooks on LOW and is stirred once or twice during the last hour so the texture stays even. When the rice is tender and the pudding looks creamy, it rests covered to thicken, then can be loosened with a splash of warm milk before serving.

Slow Cooker Bananas Foster Pudding
This Bananas Foster pudding brings sliced bananas together with brown sugar, melted butter, vanilla, and cinnamon for a warm, syrupy dessert. The bananas are stirred with the other ingredients until well coated, then transferred to a greased slow cooker and spread evenly.
The pudding cooks on low until the bananas are soft and the sauce has thickened into a syrup. A gentle stir at the end coats the fruit in the sauce before it is served warm in bowls, either with toppings or on its own.

Slow Cooker Cinnamon Raisin Rice Pudding
This cinnamon raisin rice pudding uses uncooked short-grain white rice, whole milk, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, raisins, and optional salt for a creamy finish. The rice is spread in as close to a single layer as possible, and the milk mixture is whisked separately so the sugar is mostly dissolved before everything is combined.
The liquid is poured over the rice so all of it is covered, then the mixture gets one gentle stir to loosen clumps. It cooks on LOW until very tender and thickened, then is stirred well, held on WARM briefly, and finished with extra cinnamon if desired.
