Earth Day Food - Sticky Toffee Pudding

Serves 8-10 Earth Day Food

12 dates
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 ounce espresso or strong coffee
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
6 ounces boiling water
3 ounces butter
3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups self-rising flour
A pinch of salt

2 ounces pecans
2 1/2 cups brown sugar
2 sticks butter
6 ounces cream

Let butter humid to room temperature. Meanwhile, de-seed and cut the dates. Set dates in a food processor among the espresso, baking soda and vanilla. Pulse until somewhat blended, then gradually add the boiling water and keep pulsing until completely blended. Cream the softened butter in an electric mixer with the sugar for at least 5 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, and blend until combined. Put the blend in a bowl and crease in the sifted self-rising flour a little at a time, with a pinch of salt. Fold the date blend into the flour-butter combination. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Portion mixture into greased 4-ounce muffin cups and bake for about 15 minutes.

Caramel sauce: In a high-sided pan, dissolve the butter, and then mix in brown sugar until blended in a high sided pan. Bring to a boil. Let boil for 5 min; once sugar is dissolved, cautiously add heavy cream (it will bubble up) and mix in nuts. Serve the pulp warm over the pudding, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
