Ingredients:
Instructions:
- 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.

- 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.

- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Slice the sticky date pudding into portions and place on serving plates.
- Pour the chai custard generously over each portion of pudding.

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