70g
1/2 cup self-raising flour
72g

100g
2 tbsp corn flour
30g
2 cups milk (1% fat)
480g
1 tsp ground nutmeg
5g
1 tsp cinnamon
3g
2 garlic cloves
6g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dates:
- In a small saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a boil.
- Add 1 cup of dates to boiling water and cook for about 5 minutes, or until dates are soft.
- Remove from heat and add 1 tsp baking soda. The mixture will bubble up; stir gently and set aside to cool.
2. Make the Pudding Batter:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease an 8x8 inch baking dish.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup of softened butter and 2 cups of brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add 4 egg yolks, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Sift 1/2 cup of self-raising flour and fold it into the mixture until well combined.
- Stir in the cooled date mixture until fully incorporated.
3. Bake the Pudding:
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and let it cool slightly.
4. Prepare the Custard Base:
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1/2 cup sugar and 2 tbsp corn flour.
- Gradually whisk in 2 cups of milk until smooth.
- Add 1 tsp ground nutmeg and 1 tsp cinnamon to the mixture.
5. Cook the Custard:
- Place the saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
- Once thickened, reduce the heat to low and add 2 minced garlic cloves.
- Continue to cook for 2-3 more minutes, stirring constantly to infuse the flavors.
6. Serve:
- Slice the sticky date pudding into portions and place on serving plates.
- Pour the chai custard generously over each portion of pudding.
- Enjoy your warm Sticky Date Pudding with Chai Custard!

Tips:

- Make sure to thoroughly pit and chop the dates to enhance the texture of the pudding.

- Pre-soak the dates in hot water to make them softer and easier to blend into the batter.

- Cream the butter and brown sugar well to ensure a light and fluffy pudding.

- When making the chai custard, continuously stir the mixture while heating to avoid lumps and achieve a smooth consistency.

- Allow the pudding to cool slightly before serving to let the flavors meld together.

Follow these steps and tips for a fail-proof recipe that brings together the best of traditional and contemporary flavors. Enjoy every warm, gooey bite.
