How to Make Malt Vinegar Sticky Toffee Pudding Step-by-Step

Step 1: Prepare the Ice Cream Base: In a saucepan, combine milk, egg yolks, double cream, caster sugar, and mix gently. Cook on low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens slightly and reaches 83ºC.
Step 2: Chill Overnight: Once thickened, cover the mixture and chill it in the fridge overnight—this will enhance the flavors and texture!
Step 3: Blend and Churn: After chilling, blend the anglaise with clotted cream until smooth. Transfer the mixture to an ice-cream machine and churn until you reach your desired consistency. Freeze until needed.
Step 4: Prep the Oven: Preheat your oven to 200ºC (or 180ºC for fan ovens). In a small pan, simmer chopped dates with vanilla paste and water until softened—a delightful aroma will fill the air!
Step 5: Cream Butter and Sugar: In a mixing bowl, beat together the unsalted butter and soft light brown sugar until smooth and fluffy. Egg in the medium egg and black treacle, mixing well.
Step 6: Combine Dry Ingredients: Fold in the self-raising flour and bicarbonate of soda, then gently stir in the softened date mixture. Your batter should be thick and fragrant.
Step 7: Bake the Pudding: Divide the batter into moulds—aim for about 100g per portion. Bake for 25 minutes, or until a skewer inserted comes out clean, turning golden brown on top.
Step 8: Make the Sticky Toffee Sauce: In a saucepan, add demerara sugar, unsalted butter, and half of the double cream. Bring to a simmer, stirring until the sugar dissolves into a glossy blend.
Step 9: Add Treacle and Season: Stir in the black treacle and salt; let it simmer for 2 minutes until it thickens slightly. Remove from heat, mix in the remaining cream, and add the malt vinegar—taste and adjust as desired.
Step 10: Serve Warm: Warm the sticky toffee pudding in a pan and the sauce separately. Pour a generous amount of sauce over the pudding and top it with a scoop of clotted cream ice cream for an indulgent finish!
