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!

Time 1h5m

Yield 1 pudding, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

185 g pitted dates
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
60 g unsalted butter, at room temperature
185 g caster sugar
2 large eggs
185 g self-raising flour
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
75 g soft brown sugar
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 tablespoons cream
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • For Pudding:.
  • Combine dates in a pan with 300ml water, bring to a boil.
  • Remove from heat, stir in bicarb soda and set aside.
  • Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add eggs one at a time, beating well each time.
  • Fold in flour with a large metal spoon, stir in date mixture and vanilla and pour into a greased 18cm square cake tin.
  • Bake in a 160°C oven for 50 minutes, or until cooked when tested with a skewer.
  • For Sauce:.
  • Combine sugar and butter in a pan and stir over low heat until melted. Add cream and vinegar, bring to a boil, remove from heat and serve warm, not hot.
  • Note:.
  • I have made a double batch of the pudding in a kugelhopf pan, just make sure you prepare the pan well. I then fill the centre with strawberries or cherries and serve the sauce on the side. Makes a beautiful alternative Christmas Pudding.

Overall, I was pretty disappointed with this recipe. I think I'll stick to my old standby sticky date pudding recipe.

This pudding is really dense. I think I would have preferred a lighter, fluffier texture.

I'm not sure why, but my pudding turned out really bitter. I think I might have used the wrong type of dates.

This pudding is way too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pudding didn't rise very much. It was still tasty, but it wasn't as fluffy as I would have liked.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my pudding didn't turn out very well. The dates were too dry and the caramel sauce was too thin.

I was a bit skeptical about the balsamic caramel sauce, but it really works. It adds a nice depth of flavor to the pudding.

This is the best sticky date pudding I've ever had. The balsamic caramel sauce is a perfect complement to the dates.

I've made this pudding several times now, and it's always a hit. My family loves it, and my friends always ask for the recipe.

This sticky date pudding is a winner! The dates are plump and juicy, the caramel sauce is rich and decadent, and the pudding itself is moist and flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.
