3 cups whole milk
1/2 cup cornmeal

2 large eggs
1/3 cup molasses

Grease the inside of your slow cooker with butter and preheat on high 15 minutes.In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, whisk together milk, cornmeal, and salt, and bring to a boil. Continue whisking another 5 minutes; then cover and simmer on low 10 minutes. Remove from the burner and add butter.
In a medium-size bowl, combine eggs, molasses, and spices. Add some of the hot cornmeal mixture to the egg mixture to temper the eggs; then transfer egg mixture into the pot. Stir in cranberries, if you like.

I made this slow cooker Indian Pudding for Thanksgiving this year and it was met with rave reviews. My uncle said it was perfect — not too sweet and just like he remembered it. Will definitely make this recipe again!
This is wonderful to make ahead of time on Thanksgiving morning and it will be ready for a dessert. It is fairly easy to assemble, and the flavors melding together make it delicious. It is so good with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
I appreciate the people giving their reviews – this was encouraging to me to try this..my family and friends just loved it and wolfed it down – served with a good vanilla ice cream/ will be on my to do list for my Thanksgiving meal.
My grandmother used to make Indian pudding in an old pressure cooker. It was my favorite dessert. I have since tried several times to duplicate it, using her recipe, but for whatever reason it has never tasted quite the same. Might have something to do with time and place. Will definitely give this recipe a try.
