Categories     Desserts     Custards and Pudding Recipes

Time 1h30m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 ½ ounces dark chocolate, grated
7 ounces chopped pitted dates
1 ¼ cups water
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ cup softened butter
¾ cup superfine (castor) sugar
2 eggs
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 cup butter
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar for dusting
3 cups vanilla ice cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 12 cup muffin tin. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and chocolate in a small bowl, and set aside.
  • Bring the dates and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Remove from the heat, and stir in the baking soda. Allow the mixture to stand for 5 minutes, then scrape into a blender, and carefully puree until smooth; set aside.
  • Cream 1/4 cup of butter together with the superfine sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well between each addition. Fold in the flour mixture and the date puree until well blended. Spoon into the prepared muffin cups.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Meanwhile, stir together the cream, brown sugar, and 1 cup of butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat until the butter melts; set aside.
  • When the puddings have baked for 25 minutes, remove them from the oven, and cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Remove the puddings from the muffin tin, and place them onto a baking sheet. Spoon 2 tablespoons of the sauce over each pudding, then return to the oven and bake for 5 minutes more.
  • To serve, spoon some of the sauce onto the bottom of a dessert plate, and place a pudding on top. Lightly dust with confectioners' sugar, and top with a 1/4 cup scoop of ice cream. Repeat with the remaining date puddings.

This recipe is one I tasted when a colleague brought it to work. The addition of balsamic vinegar to the caramel sauce, tempers the sweetness and adds a different dimension to the sauce. People always tell me that it is the most delicious sticky date they have ever had and I think it is the sauce that makes the difference, so be sure to at least double the sauce! Decadent and delish served with vanilla ice cream!

STICKY DATE PUDDING WITH TOFFEE SAUCE RECIPE - (4.6/5)



Sticky Date Pudding with Toffee Sauce Recipe - (4.6/5) image

Provided by cookism

Number Of Ingredients 15

TOFFEE SAUCE:
1 cup whole Medjool dates
3/4 cups boiling water
1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
3/4 cups self-raising flour, plus extra for greasing, divided
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
2 eggs
6 tablespoons butter, softened plus extra for greasing, divided
10 tablespoons demerara sugar
2 tablespoons black treacle
1/2 cup milk
3/4 cups muscovado sugar
3 1/2 tablespoons butter, cut into pieces
1 cup double cream
1 tablespoon black treacle

Steps:

  • Remove pits from dates and finely chop them into small pieces. Transfer to a bowl and pour boiling water over. Allow them to stand for about 30 minutes until cool, then mash roughly with a fork and stir in the vanilla bean paste. Butter and flour eight 8x7-centimeter mini pudding moulds and set them aside. Preheat oven to 356°F. Mix flour and bicarbonate of soda in a dry bowl. In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar together for a few minutes until slightly creamy (mixture will be grainy from the sugar). Beat eggs in a separate bowl and add them into the butter-sugar mixture a little at a time, beating well between additions. Next, beat in the black treacle, then gently fold in one-third of the flour and half of the milk with a spatula. Repeat until all the flour and milk is used. Be careful not to over-mix. Gently stir in the dates. You will achieve a soft and thick batter. Divide batter between the moulds, leaving a gap from the rim to allow space for the puddings to rise. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until risen and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. While the puddings are baking, make toffee sauce. Combine sugar, butter and half the cream in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, stirring regularly until the sugar has dissolved. Stir in the black treacle, turn up the heat slightly and allow the mixture to bubble away for 2-3 minutes until it is a rich toffee color, stirring occasionally to make sure it doesn't burn. Remove from heat and stir in the rest of the cream. When the puddings are ready, remove them from the oven and leave aside until cool enough to touch. Trim off excess and run a palette knife along the insides of the tins to loosen them. To serve, drizzle the toffee sauce over the puddings or soak them in the sauce overnight for stickier puddings. Spoil yourself further with an indulgent scoop of ice cream and a tuile wheel! Dig in!

2 eggs
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup (firmly packed) brown sugar
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 cup butter
2 tablespoons (for dusting) confectioners' sugar
3 cups vanilla ice cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 12 cup muffin tin.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and chocolate in a small bowl, and set aside.
  • Bring the dates and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Remove from the heat, and stir in the baking soda. Allow the mixture to stand for 5 minutes, then scrape into a blender, and carefully puree until smooth; set aside.
  • Cream 1/4 cup of butter together with the superfine sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well between each addition. Fold in the flour mixture and the date puree until well blended. Spoon into the prepared muffin cups.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Meanwhile, stir together the cream, brown sugar, and 1 cup of butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat until the butter melts; set aside.
  • When the puddings have baked for 25 minutes, remove them from the oven, and cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Remove the puddings from the muffin tin, and place them onto a baking sheet. Spoon 2 tablespoons of the sauce over each pudding, then return to the oven and bake for 5 minutes more.
  • To serve, spoon some of the sauce onto the bottom of a dessert plate, and place a pudding on top. Lightly dust with confectioners' sugar, and top with a 1/4 cup scoop of ice cream. Repeat with the remaining date puddings.

Tips for Making Sticky Date Pudding:

  • Use ripe, soft dates. This will ensure that your pudding is moist and flavorful.
  • Chop the dates finely. This will help them to distribute evenly throughout the pudding.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense pudding.
  • Bake the pudding in a well-greased baking dish. This will prevent the pudding from sticking and will help it to cook evenly.
  • Serve the pudding warm with your favorite sauce. Sticky date pudding is traditionally served with butterscotch sauce, but you can also use caramel sauce, toffee sauce, or ice cream.

Sticky date pudding is a delicious and comforting dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its rich, caramel-like flavor and moist, tender texture, sticky date pudding is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
