Ingredients

• 4 cups Whole milk
• 0.5 cup Cornmeal
• 0.33 cup Molasses
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Raisins (optional)
• 1 optional Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Grease the inside of your slow cooker lightly with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it is hot but not boiling.

Step 3

Gradually whisk in the cornmeal and cook, stirring constantly, for about 2-3 minutes, until the mixture begins to thicken slightly.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the molasses, sugar, butter, cinnamon, ginger, and salt until everything is well combined.

Step 5

Pour the mixture into the greased slow cooker.

Step 6

Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 5-6 hours, stirring occasionally, until the pudding is thick and creamy. Add the vanilla extract and raisins (if using) during the last 30 minutes of cooking.

Step 7

Once cooked, turn off the slow cooker and let the pudding sit for 10-15 minutes to cool slightly and set.

Step 8

Serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
