Sticky Toffee Pudding Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Dates

   In a bowl, combine pitted dates and boiling water. Let it soak for about 15 minutes, then mash until smooth.

2. 2

   Make the Pudding Batter

   In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract. Stir in the date mixture.

3. 3

   Combine Dry Ingredients

   In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.

4. 4

   Bake the Pudding

   Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Pour the batter into a greased baking dish and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

5. 5

   Prepare the Toffee Sauce

   In a saucepan over medium heat, combine heavy cream, brown sugar, and butter. Stir until the sugar dissolves and the sauce thickens (about 5-7 minutes). Add vanilla extract and mix well.

6. 6

   Macerate the Berries

   In a bowl, combine mixed berries, sugar, and lemon juice. Let it sit for about 15 minutes to macerate.

7. 7

   Serve

   Once the pudding is baked, serve warm with toffee sauce drizzled over the top, and topped with macerated berries.
