From Denny: Want a simple dessert that simplifies your life while cooking the Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner? Even if family and friends help bring their favorite dishes to contribute to the holiday feast it's always a good idea to have a dessert that is simple to put together and cooks itself while you are distracted by other preparations, waiting to go on stage and show off. :)
This cake is full of melted caramel candy and Heath toffee brickle bits complementing the autumnal pumpkin flavor. This dessert texture is a moist pudding cake that friends well with a happy dollop of freshly whipped heavy cream or whipped topping or just a sprinkle of the toffee brickle bits - you decide.
When I serve desserts like this I offer my guests their choice of toppings as they enjoy getting involved. Holidays are often when I try out new recipes. Since I value their opinions my guests enjoy morphing into the all important taste tasters to evaluate the recipes, determining if the new ideas survive to see another holiday gathering. It's all great fun and gets everyone involved to express their likes and dislikes, helping to perfect a recipe. Sometimes, all a recipe needs is a better way to serve it, like a good topping.
This little pudding cake dessert gem cooks in a slow cooker on High for two hours, giving you plenty of time to serve the dinner before the crowd starts breaking into the table of desserts. This dessert is assembled at the last minute into individual dessert dishes so you can serve as little or as much as your guest prefers. Besides, this dessert cake gives you a chance to use those tiny custard or individual flan dishes some older relative gave you but you just didn't know what to do with them. Enjoy!...
