Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
3 ¾ cups all purpose flour, plus 2 tablespoons, divided
16 tablespoons unsalted butter, frozen for at least 30 minutes
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon baking powder, plus 1 1/2 teaspoons
¾ cup sugar
½ cup golden raisin
½ cup dried currant
1 tablespoon lemon zest
½ cup milk
6 large eggs, lightly beaten
4 large egg yolks
½ cup sugar, divided
1 cup milk
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract, or 1/2 vanilla bean, slit down the middle
Large stock pot, with lid
Steamer rack
2-quart pudding mold, with lid

Steps:

  • Place a steamer rack inside a large stock pot. Add enough water so that when placed on the steamer rack, the pudding mold will be about ¾ of the way submerged. Cover the pot and bring the water to a boil.
  • Grease the pudding mold well with the softened butter. Add 2 tablespoons of flour and turn the mold to coat evenly. Cut out a 6-inch (12 cm) round of parchment paper and grease with butter.
  • Grate the frozen butter on the large holes of a box grater into a large bowl.
  • Add the remaining 3¾ cups (465 G) flour, the salt, and baking powder. Mix with a fork until evenly distributed.
  • Add the sugar, raisins, currants, and lemon zest. Stir to combine.
  • Add the milk and eggs. Stir with a rubber spatula until the batter comes together and there are no dry spots remaining, being careful not to overmix.
  • Transfer to the batter to the prepared pudding mold and smooth the top. Place the parchment round over the batter, greased side down. Secure the lid to the mold.
  • Carefully lower the pudding mold into the steam bath. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover the pot and steam for 80-90 minutes, until the internal temperature of the pudding is at least 180°F (80°C). Add more water as needed to maintain the level.
  • While the pudding steams, make the crème anglaise: Prepare an ice bath in a large bowl, filling about halfway.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and ¼ cup (50 G) sugar. Set aside.
  • In a small saucepan, combine the milk, heavy cream, remaining ¼ cup (50 G) of sugar, the salt, and the vanilla bean (if using vanilla extract, stir into the cooled crème anglaise). Cook over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, until beginning to steam. Remove the pan from the heat.
  • Ladle ½ cup (120 ML) of the milk mixture into the egg yolk mixture and whisk well. This will temper the eggs so they do not curdle when added back to the pot. Pour the egg yolk mixture back into the pot with the remaining milk mixture.
  • Return the saucepan to medium heat and cook, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon to ensure the egg yolks don't cook on the bottom of the pot, for about 5 minutes, until the custard coats the back of the spoon.
  • Set a strainer inside a medium bowl, then set the bowl in the ice bath, making sure the water doesn't come over the sides. Strain the crème anglaise into the bowl. Whisk until cool, about 5 minutes. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Once the pudding has cooked through, carefully remove it from the steam rack and let sit for 15 minutes on a cooling rack. Uncover the mold and remove the parchment round. Run a knife around the edge of the pudding to loosen. Carefully flip onto a serving platter.
  • Slice and serve the spotted dick warm with the crème anglaise alongside.
  • Enjoy!

VEGAN SPOTTED DICK & CUSTARD RECIPE BY TASTY



Vegan Spotted Dick & Custard Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: self raising flour, baking powder, vegan butter, caster sugar, currants, orange, lemon, coconut milk, vegan butter, corn flour, turmeric, water, caster sugar, coconut milk, vegan double cream, vanilla extract

Provided by Amy Harriott-Gregory

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

½ lb self raising flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
1 cup vegan butter, frozen then grated
¼ cup caster sugar
1 cup currants
½ orange, zest
½ lemon, zest
½ cup coconut milk
vegan butter, for greasing
2 ½ tablespoons corn flour
⅛ teaspoon turmeric
4 tablespoons water
½ cup caster sugar
2 cups coconut milk
½ cup vegan double cream
2 tablespoons vanilla extract

Steps:

  • In a large bowl add the flour, baking powder and vegan butter. Using the tips of your fingers rub together until it resembles breadcrumbs.
  • Next add the sugar, currants, zest of an orange and lemon. Stir until fully combined.
  • Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and add the coconut milk. Stir until a wet dough forms.
  • Place the dough into a greased pudding basin. Place greaseproof paper over the top of the dough and cover with a lid. If your basin doesn't have a lid simply use tin foil.
  • Take a large pot and place a small up-turned saucer into the bottom. Next take a large piece of greaseproof paper and fold into a long strip and place it into the pot. (You want it to be long enough so it sits along the bottom and up the sides of the basin)
  • Place the basin on top of the saucer and grease proof paper. Fill the pot ¼ full of cold water, cover with a lid and place over a low-medium heat.
  • Once the water comes to a simmer cook the pudding for around 1 hour 30 minutes or until the sponge is cooked through.
  • To a small bowl add the cornflour, turmeric & water. Stir until combined and set aside.
  • Next add the caster sugar, vanilla extract, coconut milk & vegan double cream. Whisk until combined and then pour in your cornflour mix. Stir until fully combined.
  • Place a medium sized pan over a medium heat and your custard mix. Cook for 10 minutes (or until it has thickened and glossy) continuously stirring.
  • Once cooked, remove from heat and enjoy!

Tips:

  • Make sure your ingredients are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help the ingredients combine more easily and create a smoother batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the spotted dick tough and rubbery.
  • Use a well-greased baking dish to prevent the spotted dick from sticking.
  • Cover the spotted dick with foil during baking to prevent it from getting too brown.
  • Let the spotted dick cool completely before serving. This will help it set and make it easier to slice.

Vegan spotted dick is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist and flavorful sponge cake and sweet and creamy custard filling, this classic British dessert is sure to be a hit with everyone.
