STICKY DATE PUDDING WITH BALSAMIC CARAMEL SAUCE



Sticky Date Pudding With Balsamic Caramel Sauce image

This recipe is one I tasted when a colleague brought it to work. The addition of balsamic vinegar to the caramel sauce, tempers the sweetness and adds a different dimension to the sauce. People always tell me that it is the most delicious sticky date they have ever had and I think it is the sauce that makes the difference, so be sure to at least double the sauce! Decadent and delish served with vanilla ice cream!

  • Use ripe dates: Softer dates are easier to blend and will result in a smoother pudding.
  • Don't overcook the dates: Overcooked dates will become tough. Cook them just until they are softened and starting to release their juices.
  • Use a good quality caramel sauce: The caramel sauce is a key component of this pudding, so it's important to use a good quality sauce. You can either make your own caramel sauce or use a store-bought sauce.
  • Serve the pudding warm: Sticky date pudding is best served warm, so it's best to make it just before you plan to serve it.
