THIS PUDDING has been our family's favorite dessert for Thanksgiving and Christmas for 65 years...and it's still on the menu. At Christmas, I top each serving with a touch of green-tinted whipped cream and a red maraschino cherry.

Yield Serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 17

For pudding
1 3/4 cups packed pitted dates (about 10 ounces)
2 cups water
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
For sauce
1 3/4 sticks (3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons) unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Accompaniment: vanilla ice cream

Steps:

  • Make pudding:
  • Preheat oven to 375°F. and butter and flour an 8-inch square baking pan (2 inches deep), knocking out excess flour.
  • Coarsely chop dates and in a 1 1/2- to 2-quart saucepan simmer dates in water, uncovered, 5 minutes. Remove pan from heat and stir in baking soda. (Mixture will foam.) Let mixture stand 20 minutes.
  • While mixture is standing, into a bowl sift together flour, baking powder, ginger, and salt. In a large bowl with an electric mixer beat together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add flour mixture in 3 batches, beating after each addition until just combined. Add date mixture and with a wooden spoon stir batter until just combined well.
  • Pour batter into baking pan and set pan in a larger baking pan. Add enough hot water to larger pan to reach halfway up sides of smaller pan and bake in middle of oven until a tester comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove smaller pan from water bath and cool pudding to warm on a rack.
  • Make sauce while pudding is cooling:
  • In a 1 1/2- to 2-quart heavy saucepan melt butter over moderate heat and add brown sugar. Bring mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally, and stir in cream and vanilla. Simmer sauce, stirring occasionally, until thickened slightly, about 5 minutes. Cool sauce to warm.
  • Cut warm pudding into squares. Serve pudding with ice cream and warm sauce.

Tips:

  • Make sure to use fresh dates for the best flavor and texture.
  • If you don't have a steamer, you can also bake the pudding in a 350°F oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Serve the pudding warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
  • For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet.
  • Add a teaspoon of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter for a warm, spicy flavor.
  • Garnish the pudding with chopped nuts or a drizzle of caramel sauce before serving.

Conclusion:

Amish Date Pudding is a classic dessert that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its moist, flavorful cake, gooey date filling, and rich chocolate glaze, it's the perfect treat for any occasion.
