Question 1

Can I freeze sticky toffee pudding?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can freeze sticky toffee pudding, either as a whole or in individual portions. Allow the pudding to cool completely before wrapping it tightly in plastic wrap and foil, or place it in an airtight container. Freeze the toffee sauce separately in a freezer-safe container. Both can be frozen for up to 3 months. To serve, thaw in the fridge overnight and reheat the pudding in the oven or microwave, and warm the sauce on the stovetop or microwave.

Question 2

Does sticky toffee pudding contain dates?

Question 3

How should I reheat sticky toffee pudding?

Accepted Answer

To reheat sticky toffee pudding, you can use the oven, microwave, or stovetop, depending on your preference. For the oven, preheat to 180°C, cover the pudding with foil to retain moisture, and heat for 15-20 minutes. In the microwave, warm individual portions on medium heat in 30-second intervals, checking to avoid overcooking. If reheating the toffee sauce, do so gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, stirring occasionally.

Question 4

How long does sticky toffee pudding last?

Accepted Answer

Sticky toffee pudding lasts about 3-4 days when stored in an airtight container in the fridge. Ensure the pudding and sauce are cooled completely before refrigerating to maintain their quality. If you want to store it longer, it can be frozen for up to 3 months.

Question 5

Is sticky toffee pudding vegetarian?

Accepted Answer

Question 6

Can I make sticky toffee pudding in advance?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can make sticky toffee pudding in advance. Bake the pudding and prepare the toffee sauce up to 2-3 days ahead. Once cooled, store the pudding and sauce separately in airtight containers in the fridge.

Question 7

Where is sticky toffee pudding from?

Accepted Answer

Sticky toffee pudding originates from Britain, specifically believed to have been created in the Lake District of England in the 1970s. Its invention is often attributed to Francis Coulson, the chef and co-owner of the Sharrow Bay Country House Hotel, though other claims suggest variations of the dessert were made earlier in Scotland or even Canada. Regardless of its exact origins, sticky toffee pudding has become a beloved British classic.

Question 8

What should I serve with sticky toffee pudding?

Accepted Answer

We suggest serving your sticky toffee pudding with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream. A drizzle of double cream also works well. For a slightly tangy twist, you can serve it with crème fraîche. Adding a sprinkle of chopped nuts or a pinch of sea salt can provide extra texture and flavour.
