Sticky Toffee Pudding with Vanilla Ice Cream
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 cup pitted dates, chopped
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 6 scoops of vanilla ice cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9 inch baking dish.
- In a small bowl, combine the chopped dates and baking soda. Pour the boiling water over the dates and let it sit for 5 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Mix in the flour mixture until just combined. Stir in the date mixture until evenly distributed. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the pudding is baking, prepare the toffee sauce. In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream, dark brown sugar, and unsalted butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
- Once the pudding is done, poke holes in the top with a skewer and pour half of the toffee sauce over the hot pudding. Let it sit for 10 minutes to absorb the sauce.
- To serve, cut the sticky toffee pudding into squares and place each piece on a plate. Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and drizzle with the remaining toffee sauce. Enjoy!
