Sticky toffee pudding

A poster mentioned Sticky Toffee Pudding on another thread which prompted me to reply that I love it, especially with warm caramel sauce. Maybe a bit of good vanilla ice cream with it, too. 😛

Anyone else share this love?

I’m more a savoury than sweet, but make an exception for sticky toffee pudding and banoffee pie!

TheEndlessNight · 28/07/2025 22:20

Until recently I was only a savoury person now I love desserts. So yes op, I would enjoy a sticky toffee pudding with cream, ice cream and hot caramel sauce 😋

Does anyone know if sticky toffee pudding is easy to make?

Had it once with dates inside- yummy. Like it with custard

I am endlessly disappointment by ‘traditional’ sticky toffee puddings which turn out to be a light cake with no dates. I want dates and stodge and chew thank you get much!

I made the one from the BBC recipe a few years ago and it was perfect. I wonder if you've been getting a version that isn't steam cooked?

Only with custard.

SquatBetty · 29/07/2025 08:58

It's not my favourite pudding UNLESS it is the Nigella recipe one. That is hands down, one of the best puddings ever. I can't seem to paste the link but it's on the BBC Food website

MargaritaPracticallyCan · 29/07/2025 09:01

Ohhhhh yes. I make a gorgeous sticky toffee pudding in the colder months. It's so simple, so incredibly delicious, especially with cold clotted cream or proper vanilla ice cream. It's thick with dates, muscovado sugar and butter. It's not the weather for it now but I could totally demolish a bowl.

My lovely Mum is from a era where she was FORCED to eat dates swimming in semolina at school. She absolutely hates them both .. So for years I wasn't able to make it.
During Lockdown we were watching Tenable and one of the questions was the ten ingredients of Mary Berry STP. The contestants first answer was dates... Wrong answer.. No dates. Cue me googling the recipe. I can now make it again! https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/marys_sticky_toffee_41970
When Wilf was home recently I did an apple sticky toffee pudding which was a mix of two recipes and I used chopped dates... Mum had tinned fruit that night!

Sticky, gooey and surprisingly light, Mary Berry's no-date sticky toffee pudding is a winner. You can make it a day ahead for an easy Sunday lunch.

Does anyone want to have a Sticky Toffee Pudding party this weekend? Bake up or steam your favourite pud and post pics? 😊

Ooh I love a sticky toffee pudding and it is actually the weather for it now as we're transitioning into Autumn. I'd be up for a mnet STP love fest! 😀

efeslight · 07/08/2025 07:42

Love STP as others have described, thick, chewy and the best I had was with dates.

Jellycatspyjamas · 07/08/2025 08:14

A good, sticky, toffee pudding is a thing of joy. I also make a ginger version that goes down very well - both come with dates to give that dense pudding texture. I think an STP weekend would be fab.

Oooo sounds good, I’ll have to check I’ve got some dates

Mumtobabyhavoc · 07/08/2025 08:25

I've been browsing recipes online. I might give Nigella's a try.

I’m happy to taste test submissions 🤣

Mumtobabyhavoc · 10/08/2025 00:12

Haven't made the STP yet, but I did make a cherry, chocolate, pecan loaf and apple cinnamon buns.

Love it hot with vanilla ice cream

Mumtobabyhavoc · 01/12/2025 03:59

Ok! Planning to make this for tomorrow as a (new) Dec 1 tradition. 😋
