Banana Foster Pudding has always been a nostalgic dessert for me, but this slow cooker twist makes it even more magical. No whisking custards over the stove, no fuss — just a few humble ingredients coming together into a warm, cinnamon-scented hug.
I have to say, the first time I made it this way, I was kicking myself for not trying it sooner. The smell alone as it bubbled away had my family circling the kitchen like bees around a honeypot.
