Crock Pot Cherry Cola Chocolate Dessert image

DH and I enjoy this easy dessert. Warm chocolate cake with chocolate pudding. Notice that it is dark rum which is difficult to find in small bottles. Feel free to sub in semisweet chocolate chips for the chopped chocolate, cherry coke for the regular coke with 1 teaspoon of almond extract, and for the liquor try amaretto-it is good too.

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/2 cup cola
1/2 cup dried cherries
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar
2 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup chocolate milk
1/2 cup butter, MELTED
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups cola
1/3 cup sugar, granulated
1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
2 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
1/4 cup dark rum
vanilla ice cream
maraschino cherry

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan, bring cola and dried cherries to a boil.
  • Remove from heat; let stand for 30 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, chopped chocolate, baking powder, and salt.
  • Melt butter in microwave, add the chocolate milk and vanilla; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened.
  • Fold in cherry mixture.
  • Line a three quart slow cooker with liner or coat with cooking spray.
  • Pour mixture into slow cooker.
  • For topping, in a small saucepan, combine the cola, sugar, and brown sugar.
  • Cook and stir until sugar is dissolved.
  • Remove from the heat; stir in chocolate and rum until smooth.
  • Pour over cherry mixture; do NOT stir. This was very liquidy (sorry about the new word) but it works out.
  • Put a sheet of paper toweling between the slow cooker and lid to absorb the condensation. I changed mine once during the 2 hours.
  • Cover and cook on high for 2 to 2 1/2 hours or until set. Mine was set in 2 hours BUT I have an old crock pot.
  • Turn off the heat; let stand for 30 minutes.
  • Serve warm with ice cream and maraschino cherries.
