Tips:
- Use a food processor to easily chop the nuts and dates until they resemble coarse crumbs. This will ensure an even distribution of the nuts and dates throughout the pudding.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a dense, tough pudding. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the pudding in a greased and floured baking dish. This will prevent the pudding from sticking to the pan and make it easier to remove.
- Serve the pudding warm or at room temperature. It can be topped with whipped cream, ice cream, or fresh fruit.
