Ingredients

Scale

Basic Crockpot Dessert Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh or frozen fruit (e.g., berries, apples, peaches)
  • 1/2 to 3/4 cup sugar (adjust based on fruit sweetness)
  • 1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon cornstarch or tapioca for thickening
  • Optional: spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, or vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Rinse and chop fruit as needed. Measure sugar, cream, and any optional ingredients carefully.
  2. Combine in Crockpot: Add fruit, sugar, cream, and any spices or thickeners to the crockpot insert. Stir gently to combine without mashing the fruit.
  3. Cook Until Set: Cover the crockpot and cook on low heat for 3 to 4 hours, or on high for 1.5 to 2 hours, until the mixture is bubbly and the cream has thickened and set into a dessert consistency.
  4. Cool and Serve: Allow the dessert to cool slightly before serving. It can be served warm or chilled depending on preference.

Notes

  • Cooking time may vary based on the type and ripeness of fruit used.
  • Adjust sugar quantity to accommodate tart fruits or personal sweetness preferences.
  • For a thicker texture, adding a starch such as cornstarch or tapioca can help set the dessert better.
  • These desserts can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
  • Consider topping with whipped cream or nuts for added texture and flavor.
