Sticky Date Pudding with Coconut Caramel Sauce

Method:

Preheat oven to 180°C. 

Drain and rinse the cashews before placing them in a food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy. Scoop out the cashew cream and set aside in a bowl. Now blend the dates in the food processor, until a smooth paste is formed 

Set aside ½ cup of date mixture (for the caramel sauce) scooping the remaining 1 cup to the bowl with the cashew cream. Add the vanilla and lemon and mix well.  

Next, add in the dry ingredients before mixing again.  

Grease a deep, oven-proof dish with the margarine, and scoop in the mixture. Place in the oven for 30 minutes. 

Place the caramel sauce ingredients into a bowl and mix well. Set sauce aside.  

Once the pudding is cooked, place it on a plate, decorating the edges with strawberries. When you’re ready to serve, drizzle over the caramel sauce, letting it cover the pudding.

Serve as is or with a scoop coconut ice-cream.
