Method
1. Soak the dates
Place the Medjool dates into a bowl with the baking soda and pour over the boiling water. Leave to soak for 10 minutes.
2. Blend the wet ingredients
Add the soaked dates, olive oil, soy milk, brown sugar, molasses and espresso to a blender. Blend until mostly smooth.
3. Prepare the batter
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, Double Shot Iced Coffee Protein, baking powder, ground ginger and sea salt. Fold the wet mixture through the dry ingredients until just combined.
4. Bake
Pour the batter into a lined baking dish and bake at 180°C (160°C fan-forced) for 25-30 minutes, or until cooked through.
5. Make the sticky sauce
While the pudding bakes, add the vegan butter, brown sugar, molasses, coconut cream and vanilla to a saucepan. Heat gently, stirring until smooth and simmering.
6. Soak the pudding
Once baked, poke holes all over the warm pudding and pour over half of the sticky sauce. Leave to soak for 15-20 minutes.
7. Serve
Slice and serve warm with the remaining sauce. Add a scoop of vegan vanilla ice cream if you're feeling extra fancy.
Nutrition
This comforting dessert combines naturally sweet Medjool dates with our Double Shot Iced Coffee Plant Protein for a delicious way to enjoy a little extra plant-powered protein, along with prebiotics and probiotics, in every slice.
Storage
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave and drizzle over any remaining sauce before serving.
