Notes
4-quart crockpot (like I used), giving the unit a gentle jiggle starting about halfway through the cooking time. If the middle is still “soupy” it needs longer, if just a slight jello like jiggle, it’s done, turn it to warm for no longer than 30 minutes. During testing mine took 3 hours on high, and 6 hours on low.6-7 quart crockpot, the pudding will cook faster since it’s not as thick. Start checking on it at about 2 hours on HIGH and 5 hours on LOW. The same testing should be done to determine doneness as above.Note: Newer crockpots tend to heat much hotter, and all crockpots heat a little differently, so keep an eye on it.
