What makes this slow cooker pudding recipe work?
This slow cooker banana coconut pudding is basically a dump and stir recipe, as most slow cooker recipes are (in my opinion). That’s what makes them so apPEELing (sorry, banana humor), and non-threatening.
Honestly, the only thing you really need to do to make this pudding a standout is to toast the coconut in a dry skillet to bring out its coconutty flavor before adding it into the cooker with all the other ingredients.
Adding the pinch of salt is also important. It may seem like a tiny amount (and it is), but even a tiny amount of salt can help bring out the flavor and sweetness in any kind of dessert. Salt is always a key ingredient in both sweet and savory dishes. Please do not omit it.
Sweetened condensed milk. Because, well, sweetened condensed milk. LOL
WARNING: this slow cooker banana coconut pudding is SO GOOD, you may be tempted to eat it right out of the cooker, warm, with a spoon. Not that I’d know anything about that! 😉
Please also note, this pudding will thicken in the refrigerator as it cools… IF it even gets that far! LOL
The easy step by step instructions for making slow cooker banana coconut pudding;
- Place the overripe bananas in a small (4 quart) slow cooker and mash them well.
- Pour in two cans of the sweetened condensed milk.
- Add the toasted coconut, pure vanilla extract, and the salt.

How to toast coconut in a skillet;
Toasting coconut is easy to do on the stovetop.
Add the flaked coconut to a dry skillet and cook, stirring frequently, over medium/low heat.
The coconut will brown quickly so don’t walk away from the stovetop while toasting coconut, or you’ll go from toasted to burnt in the blink of an eye.
Can I use a slow cooker that is larger than 4-Quarts to make this recipe?
Yes!
If you don’t have a small slow cooker (4 quarts), you can definitely use a larger slow cooker but you’ll need to cut down your cooking time by half, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing OR double the recipe and make more pudding!

I’ve never made a pudding in the slow cooker, but I bet it’s super creamy! Love the flavors in this banana coconut verison!
This was the first time I’d made a pudding in my slow cooker, but it won’t be the last. I’m thinking chocolate pudding is next 🙂
Thank you for your wonderful blog. I look forward to reading it every day.
You’ve completely made my day! Thank you SO much. I write it for people like you!! <3
What a great treat to make on a day off! I might try it without the coconut first though.

I want to pull out my slow cooker right now and make a huge batch of this pudding!
Do it!!!!
I love a good banana pudding and hello slow cooker too! wow.
The best of both worlds 😉
This sounds like such a great pudding to make for the kiddos! Yum!
The kiddos will love this. Adults too!
Slow cooker desserts are awesome, and I’m loving the flavors here!
Thank you!
OMG. I’ve never made a slow cooker dessert before, and it’s high time I tried! My husband and daughter will LOVE this combination!
They’ll love this!
Super creamy and easy to make!
Yes to both of those things!
You win dessert of the day! This looks amazing!
HaHaHa! Thanks!
This pudding seems to be so healthy and perfect for my breakfasts!
Looks yummy!!
Looks delicious!
Quite a handy recipe as when I don’t get to my bananas, I always peel them place in a ziplock and toss in the freezer. They are also wonderful buzzed up frozen in the food processor as ice cream, but one can only do that so many times before getting bored. Now pudding sounds like a great diversion!
My slow cooker just jumped for joy! Such a fantastic recipe! Thank you!
HaHaHa! That’s great. I know your slow cooker will love it!
You had me at banana pudding! What a great idea to make it in the slow cooker! This recipe looks so easy and so yummy that I’ll have to make sure I have company when I make it or I just might eat the whole pot. Btw, I love the addition of the coconut into the mix too for that little tropical flair.
I’m a cocoNUT by nature. I add it whenever I can. Glad you like the recipe. Thanks, Linda.
I have to admit, I did sample quite a bit out of my slow cooker!! SO tasty!! My family loved it, too.
I completely understand, Liz. I ate far too much on my own before I offered it up to the family! LOL
