Just in time for Winter, I have the easiest, tastiest Sticky Date Pudding you will ever try. It is luscious and rich, and if you eat it really quickly, it’s not fattening at all, I promise.
The secret ingredients are ginger and orange rind, these flavours are just wicked together. Don’t forget lots of Salted Caramel Sauce and a scoop of whipped cream or Ice Cream for good measure! Bon Appetite!
