Ingredients
Scale
Pudding
- 1 ½ cups flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ cup butter, melted
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup chopped dates
- 1 cup boiling water
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Toffee Sauce
- ½ cup butter
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Soften Dates: Place chopped dates in a bowl, cover with boiling water, and let them soak to soften, which enhances their texture and sweetness in the pudding.
- Prepare Batter: In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, melted butter, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir in the softened dates along with their soaking liquid to create a moist, flavorful batter.
- Cook Pudding: Grease your crockpot and pour in the batter. Cover and cook on low for 3-4 hours until the pudding is firm and a toothpick inserted comes out clean, indicating it’s fully cooked.
- Make Toffee Sauce: While the pudding cooks, melt butter, brown sugar, and heavy cream together in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly for about 5 minutes until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy.
- Serve: Drizzle the warm toffee sauce generously over the cooked pudding. Serve hot with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
Notes
- The pudding can be kept warm in the crockpot on the low setting for up to an hour after cooking.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute butter with coconut oil and use coconut cream instead of heavy cream.
- Chilling the pudding and reheating with sauce makes it a great make-ahead dessert.
- Ensure the dates are chopped finely to distribute evenly through the batter.
