Earlier this year, I attempted to make, for the first time, the dessert I had grown up knowing as sticky toffee pudding. Honestly, I never knew that sticky date pudding and sticky toffee pudding were one and the same until I went searching for a recipe for my husband’s birthday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I used to love sticky toffee pudding, but after the restaurant my father used to take us to closed down, and then we started a vegetarian diet, I never found it again. I was a little bit worried this would not live up to my memories of the dessert, especially since I had to change about the recipe I found<\/a> to suit our diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it all worked out in the end, and it was so yummy my daughter was asking for seconds and thirds, and I have to make it again soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • 1\/2 cup carnation milk<\/li>
  • 2 tsps custard powder<\/li>
  • 1 cup self-raising flour, sifted<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Butterscotch Sauce:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    • 3 \u00bd tbsp butter<\/li>
    • 1 cup brown sugar<\/li>
    • 1 cup cream<\/li>
    • 1\u00a0tsp\u00a0vanilla extract<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Method<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Date Pudding:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
      1. Pre-heat your oven at 180\u00b0C (or 355\u00b0F).<\/li>
      2. Put the dates and water in a saucepan and bring it to a boil over a high heat.<\/li>
      3. Remove from the heat and add the bicarbonate of soda and stir until the dates start to break down.<\/li>
      4. Keep aside to cool, stirring occasionally.<\/li>
      5. In a separate bowl, beat the butter and sugar using a hand mixer (or stand mixer).<\/li>
      6. Add in the carnation milk and custard powder and beat until light and fluffy.<\/li>
      7. Add the date mixture and stir to combine.<\/li>
      8. Then carefully fold through the sifted flour.<\/li>
      9. Divide the mixture evenly between your moulds until 2\/3 full. This can make either eight individual portions or four bigger ones to share.<\/li>
      10. Place the moulds in a baking tray and carefully pour some water in the tray until it comes up to 1\/3 of the side of the moulds.<\/li>
      11. Bake for 40 minutes or until golden brown and a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        Butterscotch Sauce<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
        1. Combine the butter, sugar, cream and vanilla in a small saucepan and cook it over low heat until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves.<\/li>
        2. Bring the sauce to a boil and then reduce the heat and cook for 5-6 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          To serve, invert the hot pudding onto a serving plate and top with the butterscotch sauce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

          You can have this with ice cream as well, and I’m sure it will be yummy, but just as is? The pudding and the sauce? Divine<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
