Slow Cooker Chocolate Dumplings

Slow Cooker Chocolate Dumplings are very naughty but could be ideal for a sweet chocolate treat when you are feeling indulgent!

With the rich and indulgent chocolate sauce enrobing the soft chocolate dumplings, they would make the ideal dessert to enjoy on a cold winter’s day.

Chocolate dumplings, cooked in a rich and delicious chocolate sauce in the slow cooker! Rich, fudgy and chocolatey!

It is certainly not for you if you are on a health kick, but is ideal to be enjoyed as an occasional treat.

We demolished these after a Sunday roast, the family all seemed to enjoy this! I’ll make them again when I have a chocolate craving I think.

Ingredients

For the chocolate dumplings:

• vegetable suet
• self-raising flour
• cocoa powder
• caster sugar
• water

Chocolate sauce:

• light brown sugar
• dark muscovado sugar
• cocoa powder
• freshly boiled water

Step by step

1. Make the sauce first by mixing the hot water with the sugar and cocoa powder. Pour into the slow cooker bowl.
2. Turn the slow cooker on high, replace the lid, and cook the sauce for 1 to 1.5 hours until hot and starting to thicken.
3. To make the dumplings, place all the dry ingredients in a bowl, then add the water and mix with a spoon.
4. Wet your hands and then form small balls from the dumpling mixture and drop them into the sauce. The mixture makes 12-14 small dumplings (remember they will grow as they cook).
5. Replace the lid and cook the dumplings in on high for 1 to 1.5 hours until a skewer comes out clean.
6. Serve the dumplings and drizzle over the chocolate sauce.
