This recipe by RecipeTin Eats on YouTube is one of the best desserts I have ever tried making at home!

So if you also want to try this yummy pudding, then read the instructions down below, and watch the video tutorial as well.

Ingredients:

• 1¾ cup of pitted dates, roughly chopped
• 1 tsp of baking soda
• 1 cup of boiling water
• ¼ cup of brown sugar, loosely packed
• 6 tbsp of unsalted butter, softened
• 2 eggs, at room temperature
• 1¼ cups of plain or all-purpose flour
• 1½ tsp of baking powder

Butterscotch sauce

• 1¼ cups of brown sugar, loosely packed
• 1½ cups of heavy cream
• ½ tsp of vanilla extract
• 5 tbsp of unsalted butter

For topping

• Ice cream or favorite cream

Directions:

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C or 350°F, then grease your pudding mold with butter, and set it aside. In a large mixing bowl, add the dates, then sprinkle the baking soda, and pour the boiling water. Let it soak for about 10 minutes, then mash them well using a potato masher or a fork until smooth or as shown in the video, and set it aside. In a separate large mixing bowl, add the butter and sugar, then beat them together until well combined and smooth, and beat in the eggs until incorporated.

Step 2

Add the flour, then sprinkle some baking powder all over the surface, and mix them all together until incorporated and well combined. Add the mashed dates, then give them a quick mix until incorporated, and transfer them into the prepared pudding mold evenly making sure to fill them only about 2/3 of the way up. Put them inside the preheated oven, then let them bake for about 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted at the center comes out clean. Place a saucepan on a stove over medium heat, then add the sugar, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and butter, and let the butter melt before stirring them together until combined.

Step 3

Let them simmer for about 2 minutes stirring them only once, then remove them from the heat, and set aside. Once done baking and while still hot, poke about 10 holes all over the surface, then top each pudding with more than 1 tablespoon of butterscotch sauce, and let them soak the sauce in for about 10 minutes. Unmold the pudding upside down on a plate, then drizzle some of the remaining warm sauce over the top, and add ice cream. Serve while still warm and enjoy!
