Slow Cooker Chocolate Lava Cake – dust off the slow cooker for this warm cake with a molten chocolate bottom. Top it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate dessert.
As the weather gets cooler, it’s time to look for ways to warm up. I’m all about a bulky sweater. While I try to exercise (walk) daily, those sweaters help hide the indulgences I can’t help but take. A fire in the fireplace. This is Georgia, so while we are getting chilly, I’ve got another month before I’ll be lighting the match. A soft throw while relaxing on the sofa, with the dogs and a good book. Umm, I do this all year round, I just turn the air down.
Comfort foods. I look forward all year long to making soups and chili. My favorite is this Easy Cheeseburger Soup. There is the obvious choice of hot chocolate. It feels so good to wrap your hands around that warm mug, letting the hot liquid remove the chill from the inside out.
This is also the time of year, I bring out the slow cooker. Pot roasts, sauces, mulled cider. It takes a permanent place on the counter for the next six months. (I actually own four crock pots but only one gets counter status.)
One of my favorite things to make in my crock pot is… dessert! I’ll be the first to admit, most things “baked” in a crock pot don’t look like much. Almost gross-looking. Yes, I said it. It’s what my kids would say. But looks can be deceiving.
Make sure to take your spoon all the way to the bottom of this Slow Cooker Chocolate Lava Cake recipe, because the best part is down below. Ooey gooey rich liquid heaven.
Even dished up, it still doesn’t look attractive.
Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. As the ice cream melts into the dessert, you’ll have hot and cool, rich chocolate and creamy vanilla all melding together.
You’ll forget how cold it is outside, at least until you have to go out again.

I just made my first slow cooker dessert this weekend. It was so good.
I love this dessert!! My mom used to make a version of this when I was growing up.
Hey Joan, Thanks you for sharing with us this dessert, Looks so delicious. I and my wife will try it next week.
I have several crock pots and am never sure which size a recipe calls for. I have made this for years in the oven but really want to try your way.
I am so sorry to hear of Joan’s sudden passing. My heart aches for her children & family. All of them will be in my continuing prayers. Joan was a happy bubbly, person with a beautiful smile. She will be greatly missed in the blogging community. May God bless, comfort & be with all of you.
I am looking forward to trying this recipe. It looks so good!
I have 5 crock pot but am not sure which one to use. What size do you suggest?
I’m wondering if you can do this in a rice cooker. I’ll give it a try and let everyone know 🙂
