Ginger toffee pudding is a delightful dessert that combines the warmth of ginger with the sweetness of toffee. Here’s a simple recipe for you:
Ingredients:
For the pudding:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 1/4 cup milk
For the toffee sauce:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish or individual ramekins.
- In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, ground ginger, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the molasses until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish or ramekins, filling them about three-quarters full.
- To make the toffee sauce, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar until dissolved.
- Slowly pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly. Allow the mixture to come to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
- Pour the toffee sauce evenly over the batter in the baking dish or ramekins.
- Place the baking dish or ramekins on a baking sheet (to catch any overflow) and bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the pudding is set and golden brown on top.
- Serve the ginger toffee pudding warm, spooning extra toffee sauce over each serving if desired. Optionally, you can serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
Enjoy your delicious ginger toffee pudding!
