Amazing Crock Pot Chocolate Pistachio Poke Cake

Crock Pot Chocolate Pistachio Poke Cake

JELLO Poke cake are some of the most iconic dessert recipes. This Crock Pot Chocolate Pistachio Poke Cake makes use of my favorite appliance and does double duty as you can serve dessert straight from the slow cooker.

I'm a child of the 70's so I have many fond memories of family gatherings where a JELLO Poke cake was served for dessert. A Chocolate Pistachio Poke Cake was my all time favorite flavor of poke cakes.

I love trying out new ways to make easy dessert recipes so I decided to see if I could cook my favorite JELLO Poke cake in my (affiliate link) Crock Pot Casserole Slow Cooker.

I have found that the Crock Pot Casserole Slow Cooker is not only the perfect slow cooker for making crock pot casserole recipes but it will slow cook a crock pot cake recipe perfectly.

Like this gorgeous Crock Pot Upside Down Pineapple Cake I made a while back.

Recipe Expert Tips

• A layer of paper towels over the top of the crock pot and pulled taunt will stop the moisture from dripping down and making the cake top wet.
