Sticky Date Pudding with Toffee Sauce

We gotta admit. We're more inclined to the hand-holding, movie-watching kind of date than the sweet wrinkly fruit. But once in a while, we venture out of our comfort zones and try to surprise ourselves. With the sticky date pudding, we were mind blown! There is a mystifying charm in the way the rich and moist sponge harmonizes with a luxurious shower of silky toffee sauce; the manner in which a spoonful of this delightful pudding sticks to the walls of your mouth, leaving behind a lingering taste of buttery date sweetness. Even as I type these words, I find my sweet tooth aching with longing. Get your own fix now!
