I won’t pretend this is healthy! this Sticky date pudding with coconut caramel is a luxurious version of sticky toffee pudding, using coconut milk for the caramel sauce. It’s about getting in the kitchen and making something to share with others – they’ll thank you for it.

Ingredients

a little butter or oil, for the tin

350g pitted dates, roughly chopped

250ml dark rum

170g vegetable suet

200g light muscovado sugar

4 large free-range eggs

1 vanilla pod, split and seeds scraped

2 tsp ground mixed spice

400g self-raising flour

3 tsp bicarbonate of soda

For the coconut caramel

3 x 400ml tins coconut milk

100g light muscovado sugar

For the garnish

30g coconut flakes, toasted

Method

  1. Butter or oil a 30 x 25cm baking tin, at least 5cm deep, and line with baking parchment.

  2. Put the dates in a heatproof bowl. In a small pan, bring the rum and 300ml water to the boil, then pour over the dates. Stir, then cover and leave to soak for 20 mins. Heat the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. 

  3. Put the suet and sugar in a large bowl and stir to combine. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add the vanilla and mixed spice, then sift over the flour and bicarbonate of soda, folding these into the mixture until nearly combined. Add the dates with their liquor and mix to combine.

  4. Pour the mixture into the prepared tin and bake on the middle shelf of the oven for 40 mins, or until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out with just a few moist crumbs clinging.

  5. Meanwhile, to make the caramel, tip the coconut milk into a heavybased non-stick saucepan and whisk until smooth. Bring to the boil over a high heat and boil rapidly, stirring occasionally, for about 40 mins until reduced and starting to thicken. Sprinkle in the sugar and whisk well. (Reheat before serving if necessary.)

  6. Once the pudding is cooked, remove from the oven and leave to stand for 5 mins. Cut into squares and serve warm, pour over the hot coconut caramel and sprinkle with toasted coconut flakes.
