Ingredients:

1/3 cup butter
70g
1 cup dates
150g
1/2 cup water
120g
1 tsp baking soda
5g
1 banana
120g
3/4 cup sugar
170g
1 tsp vanilla extract
4g
2 eggs
100g
1/4 cup self-raising flour
36g
3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
170g
3/4 cup brown sugar
170g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
2. Prepare Dates:
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the chopped dates and water. Bring to a boil and let it simmer for about 5 minutes until the dates are soft and the mixture is thick.
- Remove from heat and stir in the baking soda. The mixture will foam up slightly. Set aside to cool.
3. Mix Butter and Sugar:
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy using an electric mixer.
4. Add Banana and Vanilla:
- Beat in the mashed banana and vanilla extract until well combined.
5. Incorporate Eggs:
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
6. Combine Dates and Base Mixture:
- Fold the cooled date mixture into the butter and sugar mixture until well combined.
7. Add Flour:
- Sift the self-raising flour over the wet ingredients and gently fold it in until just combined. Do not overmix.
8. Bake:
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Prepare Toffee Sauce:
- While the pudding is baking, make the toffee sauce. In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy whipping cream and brown sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring continuously until the sugar has dissolved and the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened, about 5-7 minutes.
10. Serve:
- Once the pudding is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Cut into squares and serve warm, drizzled generously with the toffee sauce.
11. Optional:
- For an extra indulgent touch, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

Tips:

- Make sure to use ripe bananas for maximum sweetness and flavor.

- Soak the dates in warm water before blending to ensure they are soft and blend easily.

- For a more intense flavor, you can add a teaspoon of ground cinnamon or mixed spice to the pudding mixture.

- Serve the pudding warm with a generous drizzle of caramel sauce or a dollop of whipped cream.

- You can also add chopped nuts, such as walnuts or pecans, for extra texture and flavor.

This sticky date and banana pudding is a perfect dessert for any occasion. With its rich flavors and moist texture, it’s sure to become a favorite among your family and friends. Follow the tips for the best results, and enjoy this decadent treat warm with a generous helping of caramel sauce or whipped cream.
