Not your traditional Christmas pud, but a winner with our food team. A cross between sticky toffee and Christmas pud with a lighter feel

Provided by Sara Buenfeld

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h55m

Number Of Ingredients 16

250g block dried, stoned date , chopped
125g butter , at room temperature
85g light muscovado sugar
140g self-raising flour
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1 tsp ground mixed spice
2 large eggs
50g raisin
50g chopped candied peel
85g pecan , chopped
2 pieces stem ginger , cut into thin shreds
85g light muscovado sugar
150ml brandy
25g toasted pecan , chopped
1 holly sprig
icing sugar , for dusting

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Pour 300ml boiling water over the chopped dates and set aside. Butter a 1.4-litre pudding basin and put a disc of baking parchment in the base. Put the butter, sugar, flour, bicarbonate of soda, mixed spice and eggs into a large bowl, then beat with an electric hand whisk until really well blended. Add the cooled date mixture, then beat again to make a sloppy batter.
  • Stir in the fruits, nuts and ginger, then pour into the pudding basin and place on a baking tray. Bake in the oven for 1 hr, cover the top lightly with foil, then return to the oven for 25 mins more until a skewer inserted into the pudding comes out clean.
  • Meanwhile, make the brandy syrup. Put the sugar and 50ml water in a pan and stir over the heat until syrupy. Stir in the brandy and remove from the heat. When the pudding is ready, remove from the oven and push a skewer into it in several places. Pour over the brandy syrup so it soaks into the pudding, then cover until ready to serve.
  • Turn out onto a plate, scatter with the pecans and top with the holly sprig, dusted with icing sugar. Serve with good-quality vanilla ice cream.
