Servings: 8
Ingredients
-
2 cans (21 oz each) key lime pie filling
-
1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix
-
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted (no salt)
-
1 tbsp fresh lime peel, grated (from key limes or regular)
Key Lime Cobbler: Directions
-
Rub a little butter or spray inside a 4-6 quart slow cooker so nothing sticks.
-
Dump in the key lime pie filling. Spread it flat for a shiny green bottom.
-
Shake the dry cake mix evenly on top of the filling. Don’t mix it in—let it stay dry for a crust.
-
Mix lime peel into melted butter in a small bowl. This adds extra zing.
-
Drizzle the butter mix slowly over the cake mix. Cover most spots, but dry bits are okay—they’ll cook with steam.
-
Put on the lid. Cook on HIGH 2-2.5 hours, or LOW 4 hours. Top turns golden, edges brown, green filling bubbles.
-
Switch to WARM. Let sit 10-15 minutes to thicken a bit.
-
Scoop out warm—get filling and cake in every bowl!
