Pumpkin Sticky Toffee Puddings for Two image

These rich little date and pumpkin puddings have the texture of soft cake, and are imbued with a brown sugar toffee sauce that's broiled until bubbling, and, well, sticky. Don't skip the crème fraîche (or yogurt). That tang is essential for keeping any cloying sweetness at bay.

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes, plus more for greasing
1/4 cup/55 grams pitted, chopped dates
3/4 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoons boiling water
1/2 cup pumpkin purée (not pumpkin pie filling)
1/4 cup/55 grams dark brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom or ginger
Pinch of ground cloves
1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 cup/65 grams all-purpose flour
Flaky sea salt, for serving
Crème fraîche, sour cream or plain yogurt, for serving
1/4 cups/55 grams dark brown sugar
3 tablespoons pumpkin purée (not pumpkin pie filling)
2 tablespoons heavy cream
Large pinch of fine sea salt
1/4 cup/55 grams unsalted butter (1/2 stick), cubed
1 tablespoon bourbon or brandy (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease 2 (8-ounce) ramekins or a small, shallow gratin dish with a 2- to 3-cup capacity (see Note).
  • Prepare the puddings: In a large, heatproof bowl, combine the dates, butter, lemon zest and baking soda. Stir in the boiling water. Let sit for 10 minutes or until cool.
  • Whisk in pumpkin purée, brown sugar, cinnamon, cardamon, cloves and fine sea salt until well combined, then whisk in the flour.
  • Scrape batter into the prepared ramekins and bake until just firm when pressed in the center, 28 to 35 minutes. Transfer to a rack until ready to serve. (Pudding can be baked up to 8 hours ahead.)
  • Prepare the sauce: In a medium pot over medium heat, combine the sugar, pumpkin puree, heavy cream and salt. Bring to a simmer, then remove from the heat. Whisk in the butter, and bourbon (if using). If the sauce separates, use an immersion or regular blender to blend it together.
  • Just before serving, heat the broiler. Pour a little of the sauce over each pudding. Broil until the puddings bubble, 1 to 2 minutes. Sprinkle tops with flaky sea salt, and serve at once, with more sauce and crème fraîche dolloped on top.
