Ingredients:

1/2 cup dates
72g
1 tsp baking soda
5g
1 cup brown sugar
230g
8 yolks
140g
1 tsp spice mix
5g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1/2 cup sugar
100g
1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
72g
1/2 cup walnuts
120g
2 cups milk (1% fat)
480g
2 tbsp ginger root
30g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a pudding mold or an 8-inch baking dish.
2. Soak Dates:
- Place the chopped dates in a small bowl and sprinkle baking soda over them. Pour 1/2 cup of boiling water over the dates and let them soak for about 10 minutes to soften.
3. Make the Caramel:
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine 1/2 cup sugar (100g) and 2 tbsp water. Cook without stirring until the sugar is melted and turns a deep amber color. Remove from heat and carefully whisk in 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream (72g). Set aside to cool slightly.
4. Prepare Pudding Mix:
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the brown sugar (230g), egg yolks (52.5g), spice mix (5g), and minced garlic (6g) until well combined.
- Stir in the caramel mixture until smooth.
- Add the soaked dates (including any liquid) and chopped walnuts (120g) to the mixture, and mix well.
5. Bake:
- Pour the batter into the prepared pudding mold or baking dish.
- Bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
1. Heat Milk:
- In a medium saucepan, heat 2 cups of milk (480g) with the grated ginger root (30g) over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, then remove from heat and let steep for 10 minutes. Strain out the ginger.
2. Mix Yolks and Sugar:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks (87.5g) and sugar (50g) until pale and creamy.
3. Combine:
- Gradually pour the warm milk into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to prevent the yolks from curdling.
4. Thicken Custard:
- Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the custard thickens enough to coat the back of the spoon.
5. Strain Custard:
- Remove from heat and strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl to remove any lumps.
6. Cool:
- Let the custard cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until ready to serve.
1. Serve Pudding:
- Place slices of the sticky caramel pudding on serving plates.
2. Add Custard:
- Pour a generous amount of chilled ginger custard over the pudding slices.
3. Garnish (Optional):
- Garnish with extra chopped walnuts or a sprig of mint for a touch of color.

Tips:

- Ensure to pit the dates before using them.

- Soak the dates in hot water for a few minutes to soften them if they are too hard.

- Be consistent with stirring when making the caramel to avoid burning.

- When adding the heavy whipping cream to the caramel, pour slowly and keep stirring to prevent splattering.

- Toast the walnuts lightly to enhance their flavor before adding them to the mixture.

- Use a fine grater for the ginger root to ensure a smooth custard surface.

- Allow the pudding to cool slightly before serving; it will let the flavors meld together beautifully.

Making sticky caramel pudding with ginger custard is a rewarding experience that results in a delectable dessert. The combination of your homemade caramel with the zesty ginger custard creates a harmonious blend of flavors that end any meal on a high note. Enjoy this pudding warm, and serve it to your family and friends for a truly special treat.
