Tips for dessert in the low cooker:
- Dessert that you would normally boil on top of the stove works very well
- You have to add the liquid for the sauce to the pot and leave it on for at least 30 minutes to make sure it is hot
- Desserts cook surprisingly fast and you should not let it cook for more than double the time of the normal recipe before you check it.
- Go slow on spices such as ginger and cinnamon as they tend to be overpowering in a slow cooker dessert
- Use only about 3/4 of the water you would normally have used as none boils off
- If you have to add any butter to the liquid it is best to melt the butter first
- Remember that sugar can cool down your liquid a lot so make sure you add it from the start, when you start heating your liquid
- Do not open your pot too soon as it may cause the dessert to fall flat like a cake in an oven that has been opened too soon.
