5-Ingredient Slow Cooker Easter Biscuit Dessert recipe

 

Step-by-Step Instructions

1
Prep the Biscuit Bites
5 mins

Line the inside of a 5 to 6-quart slow cooker with a slow cooker liner or grease it generously with non-stick cooking spray. Open both cans of biscuit dough. Using a knife or kitchen shears, cut each round biscuit into quarters so you have small, uniform dough bites.

2
Coat the Dough
5 mins

In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Melt the stick of butter in a separate bowl. Dip the biscuit pieces into the melted butter first, then roll them generously in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.

3
Layer into the Pot
5 mins

Place half of the coated biscuit pieces into the bottom of the slow cooker in an even layer. Sprinkle 3/4 cup of the pastel Easter M&Ms directly over the dough. Layer the remaining biscuit pieces on top, and finish by scattering the remaining chocolate candies across the very top.

The Slow-Cook Secret
2 hours

Place a clean dish towel or a double layer of paper towels over the top of the slow cooker insert, then press the lid down tightly over it. (This traps rising steam and prevents water droplets from dripping back down onto your pastry). Cook on Low for 2 to 2.5 hours.

 

Pro-Tips for Perfect Easter Pull-Aparts

  • The Paper Towel Trick: Do not skip placing a cloth or paper towel underneath the lid! Because bread needs to rise and form a light crust, trapping the excess moisture from the slow cooker condensation ensures your dessert stays perfectly fluffy rather than soggy.

  • Don’t Rush on High: Always use the “Low” setting for this bake. Cooking it on high will cause the sugars against the edge of the pot to scorch and burn long before the biscuits in the center have a chance to cook through.

  • Let It Set: Turn off the slow cooker and let the dessert sit with the lid off for about 10 minutes before serving. This brief cooling period lets the sugar glaze thicken up, making it much easier to scoop out clean portions.

Serving Suggestion: Serve this warm straight out of the pot with a big scoop of vanilla bean ice cream, or whisk up a simple two-ingredient glaze using 1 cup of powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of milk to drizzle over the top right before serving
