Ingredients | Servings: 1-2 (depending how generous your portion is)

For the pudding:

• 6 dates, roughly chopped
  
• ½ cup boiling water
  
• ¼ tsp bicarbonate of soda
  
• ¾ cup self-raising flour
  
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
  
• 2 tbsp butter, melted
  
• 2 tbsp milk
  
• 1 egg, whisked
  
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

To serve:

• Ice cream

For the caramel sauce:

• ½ cup cream
• ½ cup brown sugar
• Pinch of salt

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 170°C.
   
2. In a small bowl, add dates, boiling water and bicarbonate of soda. Set aside for 5 minutes.
   
3. In your Décor Vent & Seal Glass Container, combine self-raising flour and brown sugar.
   
4. Add melted butter, milk, whisked egg and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix well.
   
5. Drain the liquid from the softened dates and add them to the mixture. Stir to combine.
   
6. Bake for 15–20 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
   
7. While the pudding is baking, make the caramel sauce. In a saucepan, bring cream, brown sugar and salt to a boil. Reduce heat and stir continuously for around 5 minutes, until thickened.
8. Once you pull the pudding out of the oven, poke holes over the top with a skewer and pour over the warm caramel sauce.
