Time 1h40m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

6 ounces pitted dates
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 cup light brown sugar
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 large egg, at room temperature
1 tablespoon orange zest
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Nonstick cooking spray, for the pan
2/3 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons Irish whiskey

Steps:

  • For the pudding: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Add the dates and 3/4 cup water to a small saucepan and heat over medium-high heat until boiling. Turn the heat down to low and simmer until the water has slightly reduced and the dates are beginning to soften, about 3 minutes. Turn off the heat, then cover the saucepan and let sit for 10 minutes.
  • Transfer the dates and liquid to a food processor fitted with the blade attachment. Process until smooth. Pour the date mixture into a bowl and cool to room temperature.
  • Add the flour, baking powder and salt to a mixing bowl. Whisk to break up any lumps of flour. Set aside the dry ingredients. Add the brown sugar and butter to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Cream the butter and sugar together, scraping down the bowl as needed, until fluffy and lighter in color, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the egg and beat until it is evenly combined. Add the orange zest and vanilla and mix until incorporated. Add half of the flour mixture to the butter mixture. Mix until incorporated, then add the date mixture. Mix until well combined, then add the remaining flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
  • Spray 8 of the cups in a 12-cup muffin pan with the cooking spray. Fill the greased cups with 1/3 cup batter each. Bake until puffed and golden brown, about 20 minutes.
  • For the whiskey toffee sauce: Meanwhile, add the heavy whipping cream, brown sugar, butter, vanilla and salt to a small saucepan and heat over medium-high heat. Stir the mixture continuously until the butter is melted. Bring the mixture to a boil, then turn the heat down to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes. Add the whiskey and continue to simmer until the sauce has slightly darkened in color, an additional 2 minutes. Turn the heat off and keep covered until ready to serve.
  • Cool the puddings in the pan on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Once the puddings are cool enough to handle, remove them from the muffin pan using an offset spatula. Trim the domed tops from the puddings and set them on serving plates, cut-side down. Pour the warm whiskey toffee sauce over the puddings and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Prepare in Advance: Toffee needs time to set, so it's best to make it ahead of time. You can store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
  • Use a Heavy Saucepan: This will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent the toffee from burning.
  • Use a Candy Thermometer: This is essential for getting the toffee to the right temperature. A candy thermometer will help you avoid undercooking or overcooking the toffee.
  • Stir Constantly: Stirring the toffee constantly will help to prevent it from burning and ensure that it cooks evenly.
  • Pour the Toffee onto a Greased Pan: This will help to prevent the toffee from sticking and make it easier to transfer.
  • Wait for the Toffee to Cool Before Cutting: If you cut the toffee while it's still hot, it will be too sticky and difficult to handle.
