Sticky toffee pudding, a beloved British dessert, has origins debated between the UK and Canada, with a WWII pilot's maple syrup likely inspiring its iconic caramel sauce.
Fresh chopped dates combined with brown sugar provide sticky toffee pudding's signature sweetness; Medjool variety is preferred, while food processors help quickly chop without pureeing.
For an indulgent toffee sauce, use heavy cream rather than milk or half-and-half to ensure it remains luxuriously thick, avoiding a soggy consistency.
Adjust recipes for smaller gatherings by halving ingredients and using an 8x8" pan; finish with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an ideal serving.
