Vegan steamed date pudding is alcohol-free and has a toffee-like sweetness. It makes a delicious alternative to fruit-heavy puddings and is easy to make.
Add dates, sugar, milk and butter to the saucepan and boil for 3 minutes.
1 cup Pitted Dates, 1 cup Non-dairy milk, ⅓ cup Brown Sugar, 2 tablespoons Non-dairy butter
Add bi-carb of soda to date mixture and as it froths add in the flour and salt. Stir well to combine.
1 teaspoon Bi-Carb of Soda, 1 cup Self-Raising Flour, Pinch of Salt
Place pudding mixture into prepared pudding steamer or basin. Steam for 1½ hours by placing the pudding into the large pot, filled with water to half-way up the side of the basin. Bring to a simmer and monitor, topping up the water as required.
Notes
