STICKY TOFFEE PUDDING



Sticky Toffee Pudding image

Simon Hopkinson is a first-rate pleaser, a chef who was never after recognition but one who wanted to produce terrific food his customers would love. He's best known as the founding chef of Bibendum, the London restaurant started by Terence Conran in 1987 and recognized as one of the restaurants that marked the end of that city's postwar cooking slump. His perfect (and not difficult) sticky toffee pudding is a dessert that according to Hopkinson first appeared on menus in Britain in the late 1960s but in fact has its origins in Canada. Whatever: it's insanely delicious. And it will please you.

Categories     custards and puddings, dessert

Time 1h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 cup dates, pitted and chopped
1 cup boiling water
3 tablespoons butter; cold, unsalted, cubed (plus more for greasing)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/3 cup plus 1 teaspoon Demerara sugar
1/3 cup plus 1 teaspoon dark brown sugar
2 eggs
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
5 tablespoons butter
1 cup cream
6 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt
3 tablespoons butter
1 1/4 cup cream, plus more for serving, if you like
3 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt

Steps:

  • Put the dates in a bowl and cover with the 1 cup boiling water to soften, at least 5 minutes. Heat the oven to 350 and grease a deep 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
  • Combine the 3 tablespoons butter, baking soda, a pinch of salt, Demerara sugar, 1/3 cup plus 1 teaspoon dark brown sugar, eggs, flour and vanilla extract in a food processor and pulse until just combined. Add the dates and 1/2 cup of the water to the mixture; pulse until nearly smooth (specks of dates should remain visible).
  • Pour the mixture into the baking dish and bake for about 30 minutes, until just firm to the touch. (When the pudding has finished baking, remove from the oven and heat the broiler. Put the rack about 4 inches from the heat source.)
  • Meanwhile, make the topping. Melt 5 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, then slowly add 1 cup cream and 6 tablespoons dark brown sugar and 1/8 teaspoon salt, whisking continuously until the mixture bubbles gently and comes together to form a smooth mixture; turn off heat.
  • In another small saucepan over medium heat, make the extra sauce. Melt 3 tablespoons butter, then slowly add 1 ¼ cups cream and 3 tablespoons dark brown sugar and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Repeat the process above.
  • Pour the topping (careful not to use the extra sauce) over the cooked pudding and place the whole thing in the broiler until it bubbles and looks sticky, 1 or 2 minutes (watch it closely). To serve, spoon into bowls and cover with the extra sauce. If you like, add a dollop of whipped cream.

BEST TOFFEE EVER - SUPER EASY



Best Toffee Ever - Super Easy image

Chocolate and almonds top off a rich buttery toffee. A simple recipe that you could easily remember and whip up any time. I always get compliments and requests for more. Use any type of nut that you like in place of the almonds.

Categories     Desserts     Candy Recipes     Toffee Recipes

Time 1h20m

Yield 32

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups butter
2 cups white sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup finely chopped almonds

Steps:

  • In a large heavy bottomed saucepan, combine the butter, sugar and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring until the butter is melted. Allow to come to a boil, and cook until the mixture becomes a dark amber color, and the temperature has reached 285 degrees F (137 degrees C). Stir occasionally.
  • While the toffee is cooking, cover a large baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
  • As soon as the toffee reaches the proper temperature, pour it out onto the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle the chocolate over the top, and let it set for a minute or two to soften. Spread the chocolate into a thin even layer once it is melted. Sprinkle the nuts over the chocolate, and press in slightly. Putting a plastic bag over your hand will minimize the mess.
  • Place the toffee in the refrigerator to chill until set. Break into pieces, and store in an airtight container.

EASY STICKY-TOFFEE DESSERT



Easy Sticky-Toffee Dessert image

I found this in Nigella Lawson's "Nigella Bites" cookbook last night when I was searching for an easy but oh so good dessert...I love toffee pudding dessert things and this looked good...I also had all the ingredients for it. This is easy and can be thrown together when you're making other dishes and then cook while you're eating dinner...enjoy--

Provided by Beth McClain

Categories     Dessert

Time 55m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/3 cup dark brown sugar, packed
1 cup self-rising flour, plus
2 tablespoons self-rising flour
1/2 cup whole milk
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
3/4 cup chopped rolled dates, plus
2 tablespoons chopped rolled dates (optional...I don't like dates, so I didn't use them)
3/4 cup dark brown sugar, packed
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, in little blobs
2 1/4 cups boiling water

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F and butter a 1 1/2-quart capacity baking dish (I used a combo of Pam and butter and it worked fine).
  • Combine the sugar with the flour in a large bowl.
  • Pour the milk into a measuring cup, beat in the egg, vanilla and melted buter and then pour this mixture over the sugar and flour, stirring--just with a wooden spoon--to combine.
  • Fold in the dates then scrape into the prepared baking dish.
  • *Don't worry if it doesn't look very full: it will do by the time it cooks*.
  • Sprinkle the sugar for the sauce over the batter and dot with the butter.
  • Pour the boiling water over the whole thing (yes, really!) and transfer to the oven.
  • Set timer for 45 minutes, though you might find the dessert needs 5 or 10 minutes more (this was a frustrating part, for whatever reason I ended up having to put it back in for almost 20 minutes-- but then it was very cake-like, Remember that it thickens up when you take it out).
  • The top of the dessert should be springy and spongy when it's cooked; underneath, the butter, dark brown sugar and boiling water will have turned into a rich, sticky sauce.
  • Serve with vanilla ice cream, creme fraiche or heavy or light cream as you wish.

Tips:

  • Use soft, fresh dates. Softer, fresher dates will blend more smoothly and result in a creamier sauce.
  • Don't overcook the sauce. The sauce should be thick and syrupy, but not too thick or sticky. Overcooking will make the sauce too thick and difficult to pour.
  • Serve the dessert warm. Sticky toffee pudding is best served warm, so that the sauce is runny and the pudding is soft and fluffy.
  • Top with whipped cream or ice cream. A dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream is the perfect finishing touch to this classic dessert.

Conclusion:

Sticky toffee pudding is a delicious and comforting dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich, flavorful sauce and soft, fluffy texture, it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special dessert to make, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
