Sticky Date Pudding with Butterscotch sauce and almond praline



oozy, buttery, caramely, sticky, YUMMY!!

If you want to impress someone, this is your dish!!

Lots of components? Yes, but worth it! This time I have uploaded the recipe so you have no excuse.

My tips:

Be careful with the sugar once it has melted and you are pouring it over the almonds. It is really hot!! I even have a large blister burn on my finger to prove it.

Don't over cook the almonds. I think I left mine for a minute too long and the praline would of tasted better if I hadn't over cooked them. Once they are slightly golden, take them off the heat.

When you are pouring the mixture into the moulds, don't be worried if it looks as watery as water. I thought the recipe must of been wrong because the mixture was not thick like a cake recipe or something like that. But Mum said puddings are generally like that and they turned out perfectly!

So get cracking people! or baking I should say! Only took an hour max to make this delicious desert. But then I guess there is the washing up. But don't let that turn you off. ENJOY!
