Vegan Sticky Toffee Pudding
This vegan sticky toffee pudding is the PERFECT dessert for winter and the holiday season. It is comforting, warming and delicious. I think a good sticky toffee pudding is a firm contender for a Christmas day spot at the table. Especially, when it looks like a Christmas pudding!
Ingredients
- 200 g Flour plain, white, all-purpose
- 110 g Sugar light, brown, soft
- 180 g Pitted dates
- 375 ml Milk I chose almond
- 110 g Butter
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon ground
- ½ teaspoon Mixed spice ground
- ½ teaspoon Ginger ground
- 2 ½ teaspoon Baking powder
- 4 tablespoon Biscoff spread optional - for the top
For the toffee sauce
- 100 g Butter
- 45 g Sugar white, caster, super-fine
- 50 g Sugar light, brown, soft
- 100 ml Double cream I used an oat based one
Instructions
- Pre-heat your oven to 180°C/ 356°F. Grease your Christmas pudding bowl with a small amount of butter.
- Chop the dates up finely. Then, add them to a saucepan with the milk. Place on a medium-high heat for 10 minutes. This will soften the dates. After this time is up, add the butter and sugar and combine until the butter has melted. Then, take the saucepan off of the heat.
- In a large bowl, sieve the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger and mixed spice. Combine together. Then pour your date mixture into the dry ingredients. Mix together with a spoon until all combined.
- Pour your pudding batter into the greased Christmas pudding bowl. Bake for 45 minutes, or until a knife comes out of the middle clean.
- Add all of your toffee sauce ingredients (caster sugar, light brown sugar, butter + cream) to a saucepan and place on a medium-high heat. Heat the sauce until it is bubbling, and then take it off of the heat and leave it to cool.
- Once your sticky toffee pudding is ready, remove it from the oven and turn it out of the Christmas bowl, onto a large serving plate. Then, pour some of the toffee sauce on top, leaving some left over for individual platting. At this stage you can also melt some Biscoff spread and pour it on top too, but this is optional!
- Cut your sticky toffee pudding into slices and plate them up. Then add the remaining toffee sauce to each plate and a lot of ice cream or custard (or both!) Enjoy :)
