The girlfriend's really sneaky. Before she hopped onto the plane home, she arranged for delivery of a sleek slab of sticky date pudding. We couldn't say no! What an awesome gift! A pity there is no way to make it last till she flies in again in a couple of months.
It's amazing- she's got the sugar sweetness perfectly portioned. We know she has a sweet tooth, so she bakes all these versions to her taste. She knows that we don't take too sweet stuff, so she then manages to decrease the sugar for the desserts she gifts to us. We're absolutely spoilt.
We love homemade dessert. Sticky date pudding and vanilla bean ice-cream. A lethal combination. We didn't bother to order dessert after dinner. It was a much better idea to come home and have sticky date pudding. We still had 4 squares of chocolate fudge cake (also made by the girlfriend) left from 2 weeks ago! Heh. We're VERY prudent. So same thing tonight, we had to be very disciplined and rationed out tiny bits to share.

ah, the desert angel is flying away for a while. you'll have to be prudent with the rations indeed!
Actually - this was the exact recipe. It's Australian and hence probably less sweet :)
tuti: totally. rationing it prudently.
dawn: ARE YOU SURE?! Since when does a dessert recipe stinges on sugar? Hmmm. I'm not a baker, not understanding the AUtralian bit! Does Australian origins mean less sweet?
OMMMG..... i love sticky date pudding.
Generally American recipes are sweeter - though I found this sweet enough too.
lovexlb: this version is great! alternatively, Cafe Beviamo at Tanglin does a good one. I'm sure you've tried. The one at PS Cafe (both outlets) suck big time.
dawn: really? This one is sweet but not terribly so if you don't eat all the ummmm....caramel (?) on the top?
