Oh, friends—have I got a treat for you today that will tickle your taste buds and satisfy that sweet tooth with minimal effort! When life is as bustling as a bee, and your sweet cravings hit like a train, Slow Cooker Minister’s Delight is your handy dandy solution. In my quest for recipes that sprinkle joy but don’t hog my meager moments, I stumbled upon this gem. Traditionally, Minister’s Delight (also cozily known as “dump cake”) was a heart-warming offering to visiting clergymen—simple, satisfying, no fuss. Nowadays, it’s that perfect dessert calling your name after a long day’s work, needing just a few pantry staples thrown into Mr. Slow Cooker while you relax, unwind, or chase the kiddos. Let’s get to it, shall we?
Minister’s Delight is itself a potluck star, solo and proud. However, if you want to elevate this comfort on a plate, serve it with a dollop of vanilla ice cream, a swoosh of whipped cream, or, dare I say, a light dusting of powdered sugar? Perfection.
