Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Place the chopped dates in a small saucepan and cover them with water.
- Bring to a boil, then add the baking soda. Remove from heat and let it cool.
- Spread the hazelnuts on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes, or until they are golden and fragrant.
- Remove from the oven, let them cool slightly, then chop them coarsely.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together ¼ cup (55g) of the butter and ½ cup (115g) of the brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the mashed bananas.
- Gradually fold in the self-raising flour, followed by the chopped dates (including any liquid from cooking them) and the toasted hazelnuts.
- Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish and smooth the surface.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool slightly in the baking dish while you prepare the butterscotch sauce.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the remaining ¼ cup (55g) of butter, the remaining ½ cup (115g) of brown sugar, and the heavy whipping cream.
- Stir constantly until the mixture comes to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Cut the pudding into squares or spoon out individual portions.
- Pour the warm butterscotch sauce over the top of each serving.
- Optionally, garnish with a few extra toasted hazelnuts for added crunch.
Tips:
- Toast the hazelnuts before adding them to the pudding for an extra layer of flavor and crunch.
- Ensure that the dates are pitted and chopped finely to distribute their sweetness evenly throughout the pudding.
- For a smoother sauce, continuously stir the butterscotch sauce to avoid any lumps and to achieve the perfect consistency.
- Use ripe bananas for a naturally sweeter and moister pudding.
- Allow the pudding to cool slightly before serving to let the flavors meld together.
- You can prepare the butterscotch sauce in advance and reheat it gently before serving to save time.
This Banana and Date Pudding with Butterscotch Sauce is a delightful end to any meal. The rich, moist pudding paired with the creamy butterscotch sauce creates a harmony of flavors that is both comforting and indulgent. Serve it warm for a truly memorable dessert experience.
