How to Prepare Sticky Toffee Pudding With Sticky Toffee Sauce [Vegan, Gluten-Free]
- To make the gluten-free flour mix, mix all the flours together and store in an airtight container.
- Preheat the oven to 375ºF. Line an 8-inch square cake tin (pan) with greaseproof paper (wax paper) or use a good-quality silicone mold.
- Start with the pudding. In a small saucepan gently heat the milk and dates for 5–10 minutes until the dates have softened. Once softened, set aside.
- In a blender, blitz the coconut sugar and coconut oil until the sugar has mostly disintegrated. Add the baking soda to the milk and date mix – it will start to fizz and bubble, but that is okay.
- In a bowl, combine the flour, vanilla, spices, pinch of salt, coconut oil and sugar mix along with the dates and milk mixture and give everything a good stir.
- Pour into the cake tin (pan) and bake in the oven for 30 minutes.
- While the pudding is cooking, make the sauce. Heat a pan over medium heat, add the coconut sugar and coconut milk and let it heat through.
- Add the salt and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and let it simmer for 20 minutes until the caramel has thickened. Stir it occasionally to make sure it doesn’t burn. A great way of knowing if it’s ready is to see if it sticks to the back of your spoon.
- Stir in a little more salt if desired and either use it straightaway or let it cool down before storing in a glass jar – it will become even thicker as it cools.
- Once the cake is done, transfer to a wire rack to cool and enjoy with a home-made custard (below) and a drizzle of sticky toffee sauce.
- Blend the cornflour with a little bit of of the coconut milk in a medium pan over a medium heat, whisking until you have an even consistency. Then add the rest of the ingredients including the scraped vanilla pod – there is still a lot of goodness there – whisking until the cornflour and vanilla are fully incorporated into the coconut milk.
- Whisk until the custard starts to thicken and then, as soon as the mixture begins to boil, take it off the heat and let it cool.
Notes
Tip: The cake, custard and toffee sauce all last for a long time in the fridge – well, that is, if you can keep your hands off them! – or freezer.
