The pudding will still be a little loose in the slow cooker. But it will thicken in the fridge. Serve it cold topped with extra raisins and nuts. You could even go crazy and add some fresh berries too!

To Make Pareve/Dairy-Free: In the place of regular milk, substitute almond milk, soy milk, or light coconut milk (ex. So Delicious or Silk brands- do not use canned). Heat milk substitute as directed above, heating slowly and stirring constantly to prevent scorching. I have tested the milk substitutes listed in this recipe with good results; I have not tried it with rice milk or any other alternatives.

***Note: If you’re on a low sugar diet or watching your weight, you can also make this drink with Splenda, stevia, agave, or your favorite low glycemic sweetener. Rather than making the sugar water, add a cup of unsweetened water to the blender (2 cups of water total) and blend the drink without sugar. Add your sweetener of choice to taste, blend again, and serve.
