Sticky Toffee Pudding

What is it?

Baked as a date sponge, this frozen pudding comes with a separate sticky toffee sauce. It’s designed to be heated through, then served warm, so the sponge stays soft while the sauce soaks into the centre. M&S uses a classic British format here, closer to a steamed pudding than a cake, with a dense crumb and deep caramel notes from the date mixture. Compared with the brand’s lighter dessert pots and fruit crumbles, this one leans into a more old-school, sauce-heavy style.
