Cozy individual sticky toffee pumpkin puddings made with ultra-moist pumpkin and date cakes soaked in a rich, buttery toffee sauce—an elegant yet comforting fall dessert.

Ingredients

6 oz Medjool dates, pitted

2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger

1 cup boiling water

1 spiced black tea bag

½ teaspoon baking soda

¾ cup pumpkin puree

8 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature

2 tablespoons unsulphured molasses

¾ cup dark brown sugar

2 large eggs, room temperature

1½ cups all-purpose flour

¾ teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon kosher salt

1½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice

4 tablespoons unsalted butter (toffee sauce)

½ cup packed dark brown sugar (toffee sauce)

1 cup heavy cream (toffee sauce)

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Pinch of flaky sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously butter six 8-ounce ramekins. Place on a rimmed baking sheet.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin pie spice. Set aside.
  3. Add dates, ginger, baking soda, and tea bag to a heat-safe bowl. Pour boiling water over and steep for 10 minutes. Remove and squeeze out tea bag.
  4. Transfer date mixture to a food processor. Add pumpkin puree, butter, molasses, brown sugar, and eggs. Pulse until just combined, leaving small date pieces.
  5. Fold wet mixture into dry ingredients until just combined.
  6. Divide batter evenly among ramekins, filling about ¾ full.
  7. Bake for 20–25 minutes, until puffed and centers are set.
  8. Meanwhile, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add brown sugar and cream; whisk until smooth and simmer until slightly thickened.
  9. Remove sauce from heat and stir in vanilla and flaky sea salt.
  10. Poke holes in warm cakes and spoon toffee sauce generously over each. Serve warm with extra sauce.

Notes

Dates add natural sweetness and keep the cakes ultra moist.

Cakes can be made ahead and reheated before serving.

Freeze cakes without sauce for best results.

Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
