The Best Sticky Toffee Pudding

November 8, 2017

Each year around this time, my sister and I make it a point to visit Bobbette & Belle for one of their beloved sticky toffee puddings and a hot drink. There’s really nothing quite like the warm, spicy cakes topped with a huge dousing of rich and sticky toffee sauce and let me tell you, we devour every single drop. This year, I wanted to try my hand at my version of sticky toffee pudding so I scoured the internet for a recipe that seemed doable and delicious. I found that all sticky toffee puddings stick to a very similar recipe and so after finding the one I wanted to use, I decided to make them a little differently by adding salt to the toffee sauce and a pinch of fleur de del to the top of the puddings. I love salted toffee sauce and the addition really helped cut the sweetness of the desert. I also used these molds which are slightly larger than muffin molds and in my opinion, look a lot like the Bobbette & Belle version. I was thrilled with how these sticky toffee puddings came out and must say, if you bake anything this holiday season, it should most definitely be these.
