To make the dessert, Peta used lemon zest, lemon juice, eggs, butter and sugar and combined them together before placing in the slow cooker.
Once the butter melted she turned the kitchen gadget on low and stirred every 15 minutes for a total of 90 minutes.
Peta then scooped the lemon mixture into pre-made tart shells bought from Coles and topped with meringue.
‘Oh wow! Thanks for this recipe. I’m going to give it a go!’ one woman said online.
‘Looks so delicious!’ another said, a third added: ‘Great for a snack and the kids would love these.’
Other home cooks said they opt to use slow cookers when preparing desserts or meals because the helpful kitchen gadget reduces the risk of burning the food.
It also creates less lumps and the ‘hands off’ functionality is preferred.
