Ingredients

  • 200 g Pitted and chopped dates (1+⅛ cup)
  • 240 ml Boiling hot black tea (1 cup)
  • 80 g Dairy-free margarine (~5 tablespoons)
  • 150 g Soft light brown sugar (¾ cup, packed)
  • 1 Teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 190 g Self-raising flour (1+½ cups)
  • ½ Teaspoon Baking soda (bicarbonate of soda)

For the sticky toffee sauce:

  • 120 g Dairy-free margarine (½ cup)
  • 150 g Soft light brown sugar (¾ cup, packed)
  • 60 ml Full-fat coconut milk (¼ cup)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F (160°C or 325°F if you're using a fan or convection oven). Line an 8x10" rectangular tin with baking paper.

  2. In a small bowl, pour the hot tea over the chopped dates. Leave to soak for 5 minutes, then mash it with a fork to make a lumpy, sticky mixture.

  3. In a separate bowl, cream the margarine and brown sugar together. Add the vanilla along with the date mixture and mix well.

  4. Gently fold in the flour and the baking soda to make a smooth, slightly thick batter.

  5. Spoon the batter into your lined tin and bake for 20 minutes. Prepare the sauce in the meantime.

For the sticky toffee sauce:

  1. Add the margarine and sugar to a pan over medium heat. Stir every so often until the sugar has dissolved and the margarine has melted.

  2. Add the coconut milk and stir it in gently. Leave it to simmer for a minute or two until it starts to bubble then remove from the heat.* Don't stir it while it's simmering or the sugar will crystallize.

Assembly:

  1. As soon as the pudding comes out of the oven, poke small holes all over it using a knife.

  2. Pour the sauce over the pudding while it's still hot, leaving around ¼ of it aside for serving. Use the back of a spoon to spread it out evenly over the pudding.

  3. Leave to cool for at least 5 minutes before serving with vanilla ice-cream or vegan custard and the leftover sticky toffee sauce.

Recipe Notes

  • *The sauce might be a bit runny at this point but it will thicken slightly as it cools.
  • Store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Reheat before serving if desired.
  • If your serving sauce becomes too thick when cool, add a splash of boiling water to make it runny again. If it's too runny, put it back on the heat for another minute or two.
  • Leftovers can be reheated in the microwave, or in the oven for 20 minutes at 180°C/350°F.
