Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a small saucepan, add the chopped dates and just enough water to cover them. Bring to a boil, and then reduce the heat to a simmer.
- Cook until the dates are soft, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, add the baking soda, stir well, and set aside to cool. The mixture should become foamy and thick.
- In another small saucepan, combine the 1 cup of sugar and lemon juice over medium heat.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has melted and turned a golden brown color, approximately 10 minutes.
- Remove from heat and carefully add the light sour cream, stirring until smooth. Set aside to cool.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a baking dish or individual ramekins.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the flour, mixing just until combined.
- Fold in the cooled date mixture until evenly distributed.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish or divide it evenly among ramekins.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the pudding from the oven and let it cool slightly.
- Serve warm, topped with the prepared caramel sauce.
Tips:
- Ensure that the dates are pitted and finely chopped for a smoother texture in the pudding.
- Mix the baking soda with the dates before adding them to the batter; this helps to soften the dates and blend them more evenly.
- For an extra kick of flavor, you can add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the flour mixture.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter; mix just until combined to avoid a dense texture.
- Allow the pudding to cool slightly before serving to let the flavors meld together and to prevent burning your mouth on the hot caramel.
By following this recipe, you'll be able to create a mouth-watering caramel date pudding that is sure to impress your family and friends. The combination of caramel and dates offers a unique and delightful flavor profile that is both comforting and luxurious. Enjoy it on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream for an extra touch of indulgence.
