Ingredients
Scale
- For the pudding
- 1 cup pitted dates, chopped
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- For the toffee sauce
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional garnish
- Fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
- Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream
Instructions
- Prepare the dates: Combine the chopped dates and boiling water in a bowl. Stir in the baking soda and let sit for 10 minutes. Blend until smooth or leave slightly chunky for texture.
- Make the batter: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, cream the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then mix in the vanilla. Fold in the flour mixture and the date mixture until combined.
- Bake: Pour the batter into a greased 9-inch baking dish or individual ramekins. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Prepare the sauce: In a saucepan, combine the brown sugar, butter, and heavy cream. Heat over medium heat, stirring, until the sugar dissolves and the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
- Assemble: Poke small holes in the pudding with a skewer and pour half of the warm toffee sauce over it. Let it soak for 10 minutes.
- Serve: Cut into squares or unmold ramekins. Drizzle with additional toffee sauce and garnish with whipped cream or ice cream and a sprinkle of chopped mint.
