Cornbread mix, butterscotch pudding, milk, eggs and molasses slow-cooked into a spiced New England pudding.

Ingredients

  • 1 package (8-1/2 ounces) cornbread/muffin mix
  • 1 package (3.4 ounces) instant butterscotch pudding mix
  • 4 cups whole milk
  • 3 large eggs room temperature, lightly beaten
  • 1/2 cup molasses
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • Optional: vanilla ice cream or sweetened whipped cream
  • Greased 4- or 5-quart slow cooker

Directions

  • Whisk the cornbread mix, pudding mix, and milk until blended. Add the eggs, molasses, and spices and whisk to combine. Pour into the greased slow cooker, cover, and cook on high for 1 hour.
  • Turn it to low. Stir, scraping the sides well. Cover and cook for 2-1/2 to 3 hours more, until very thick, stirring once an hour.
  • Serve warm, with ice cream or whipped cream if you like.

Notes

Prep 15 min, cook 3 hours 30 min. Stir periodically or the edges get too dark. If the molasses is too strong, use 1/3 cup.
