Ingredients
Cooking Instructions
step 1
Start with the date mixture. Place the chopped Pitted Dates (1 1/2 cups) in a bowl and pour the boiling Water (1 1/4 cups) over them. Stir in theBaking Soda (1 tsp) and let sit for 10 minutes.
step 2
After soaking the dates, mash the mixture lightly with a fork.
step 3
Next, prepare the pudding batter. Preheat the oven to 350 °F (175 °C). Grease a 9-inch square baking dish or individual ramekins.
step 4
In a mixing bowl, cream together the Unsalted Butter (1/2 cup) and Brown Sugar (3/4 cup) until light and fluffy. Beat in the Eggland's Best Classic Eggs (2), one at a time, until fully incorporated.
step 5
Sift together the All-Purpose Flour (1 3/4 cups), Baking Powder (2 tsp), and Salt (1/2 tsp).
step 6
Gradually mix into the wet ingredients. Fold in the date mixture until well combined.
step 7
Pour the batter into the prepared dish or ramekins, and bake for 35–40 minutes (25–30 minutes for ramekins), or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
step 8
In the meantime, make the toffe sauce. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine Brown Sugar (1 cup), Unsalted Butter (1/2 cup), and Heavy Cream (1/2 cup). Stir constantly until the sugar dissolves and the sauce thickens slightly, about 5–7 minutes.
step 9
Remove from heat and stir in Vanilla Extract (1 tsp) and a Salt (1 pinch).
step 10
To serve, you can enjoy the pudding straight from the ramekin. Poke small holes into the top with a skewer or fork, and drizzle with warm toffee sauce. Alternatively, loosen the edges with a knife and carefully invert the pudding onto a plate. Poke small holes into the top with a skewer or fork, then pour some of the toffee sauce over to soak in for at least 30 minutes (or longer for extra gooeyness).
step 11
Serve warm with additional toffee sauce drizzled on top. Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream if desired.
