Paolo's Sticky Date and Fig Pudding with Butterscotch Sauce

A dark, sticky date pudding with figs through it, and a butterscotch sauce of brown sugar, cream and butter to pour over it while it is still hot. There are some desserts that never go out of fashion, and a beautiful, warm sticky date pudding is definitely one of them. Paolo's taken this much-loved classic and given it a little Christmas twist with the addition of sweet, luscious figs. The result is a wonderfully soft pudding with a rich caramel flavour that's comforting, indulgent and just the thing to finish a Christmas feast. And of course, no sticky date pudding would be complete without a generous helping of butterscotch sauce. Paolo's is rich, buttery and velvety smooth, made with brown sugar, cream and butter for that irresistible caramel sweetness. The best part is that all the baking has been done for you. Simply thaw, warm the pudding and gently heat the sauce before pouring it over the top. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and let it melt into the warm butterscotch sauce. A gorgeous Christmas dessert that feels homemade, without spending the afternoon in the kitchen. Made with ❤️ by Paolo
