Vegan Sticky Date Puddings
Although I try to keep a healthy, clean and wholesome diet, some occasions call for a rich, delicious and utterly indulgent dessert, and my Sticky Date Puddings with Whiskey Caramel Sauce falls right into that category. This dessert is made by combining a soft, sweet date pudding, a creamy vanilla buttercream, crunchy gingerbread snaps and a thick, whiskey infused caramel sauce. Served with vegan ice-cream, it's guaranteed to impress anyone with a sweet tooth, and is the perfect treat to present at special occasions, festive celebrations and dinner parties.
Ingredients for the puddings
- 300g pitted dates
- 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 200ml boiling water
- 75g vegan butter
- 100g brown sugar
- 1 tbs golden syrup
- 2 vegan eggs (2 tsp egg replacement powder mixed with 4 tbs water)
- Vanilla bean paste, to taste
- 200g self-raising flour
- 1 tsp ground ginger
Ingredients for the decorations

Instructions for the puddings
- Cut dates into pieces and place into a medium sized bowl.
- Add bicarb and water and set aside for approximately 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, preheat oven to approximately 190 degrees Celsius and grease 8 mini loaf tins with vegan butter.
- Mash date mixture until it forms a reasonably smooth paste (some chunks are okay).
- In a large bowl, beat together butter and sugar, adding golden syrup and vegan eggs once combined.
- Add vanilla, flour, ginger and date paste and mix with a spatula until mixture is just combined.
- Divide mixture evenly into prepared loaf tins and place in the oven.
- Cook for approximately 30 minutes, or until puddings bounce back when pressed.
- Remove from the oven and set aside.
Instructions for decorations
- Top warm or room temperature puddings with a squeeze of buttercream, drizzle of caramel sauce, a small piece of gingerbread and a scoop of ice-cream, or any combination of toppings you like!
