Slow Cooker Sticky date Puddings with Butterscotch Sauce
Ingredients
- Melted butter, to grease
- 285g (1 3/4 cups) pitted dates, halved
- 250ml (1 cup) boiling water
- 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
- 80g butter, at room temperature
- 100g (1/2 cup) caster sugar
- 2 eggs
- 115g (3/4 cup) self-raising flour, sifted
- 75g (1/2 cup) plain flour, sifted
- 185ml (3/4 cup) pouring cream
- 160g (1 cup, lightly packed) brown sugar
- 60g unsalted butter, chopped
- Double cream or custard to serve
Instructions
- Step 1 Preheat slow cooker on low. Brush or spray chosen mini bowls or cups for individual servings
- Step 2 Combine the dates, water and bicarbonate of soda in a bowl. Set aside for 10 minutes to soften. Use a fork to coarsely mash or process the dates before soaking.
- Step 3 Use an electric beater to beat the butter and caster sugar in a bowl until pale and creamy. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Fold in the date mixture and the combined flour. Spoon the mixture into the prepared pans and smooth the surfaces. Cook for 1.5 to 2 hours on low (depends on individual slow cookers) or until the surfaces spring back when lightly tapped.
- Use a tea towel under the lid while cooking to stop moisture. Set aside for 5 minutes to stand before turning onto a wire rack to cool slightly.
- Step 4 Meanwhile, place the pouring cream, brown sugar and unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until smooth.
- Step 5 Top with double cream or custard and drizzle over the sauce to serve.

This is so good! my daughter had two, and she doesnt even like dates!! love it 🙂
Do you cook them on low or high? Thank you
Low 🙂
It says that in step 1 but I can see how it could be overlooked by the time you get to cooking time so I’ve added it in there now also 🙂
No water in the bottom Paulene?
If your prefer not to dry cook in your cooker you could certainly sit them in some shallow water 🙂
