Sticky Date Puddings

May 1, 2014 by Coastlines

Ingredients

210g pitted dates

1 cup boiling water

1 teaspoon bi-carbonate of soda

140g brown sugar

60g butter, melted

2 eggs

140g self raising flour

 

Caramel Sauce

100g brown sugar

250g thickened cream

100g butter

1 teaspoon vanilla essence

2-3 level teaspoons arrowroot (Tapioca flour) – to thicken sauce

 

Method

Muffins: Pre-heat oven to 180ºC. Spray a 12 cup muffin pan with cooking spray.

Chop pitted dates into small pieces. Place in a bowl with bi-carb soda, and pour over boiling water. Allow to stand for 5 minutes. Stir in sugar and melted butter. Add beaten eggs and stir to combine, then stir in self raising flour. Continue stirring until there are no flour-lumps. Pour mixture into the muffin tins, distributing dates evenly amongst the tins. Bake at 180ºC for 20 minutes. Turn mini-puddings out onto a bread board.

 

Caramel Sauce: Combine brown sugar, thickened cream, butter and vanilla essence in a saucepan. Stir over medium heat until butter has melted and sugar has dissolved. Continue to stir over heat, until sauce almost reaches boiling point. Mix arrowroot with a little water in a cup until smooth, and then pour into sauce. Continue whisking until sauce thickens.

 

Place mini-puddings on individual serving plates and drizzle with Caramel Sauce. Serves 4-6.
