Sticky Date Pudding

What is it?

Dense date pudding meets a separate butterscotch sauce in this frozen dessert from Sara Lee. It’s built for the oven or microwave, then served warm after heating the pudding and warming the sauce. Dates are the main flavouring, giving the cake-like crumb a dark caramel note and a sticky texture, while the sauce adds butter, sugar and creaminess. In Sara Lee’s dessert range, it sits alongside other frozen classics like apple crumble and chocolate pudding, but this one leans more into that pub-style sticky date format. Serve it from the tin or turn it out and spoon the sauce over the top.
