Sticky toffee, fig & walnut pudding
This sticky toffee, fig & walnut pudding with toffee sauce is decadent and utterly delicious. I daresay it might even be the best ever. Queue this up to be the next dessert you make when you gather a small crowd. It’s a slight riff on a classic sticky toffee pudding made with dates so you could easily swap out the dried figs if you can’t get hold of them, but I really loved how they added a soft flavour element as well as a little texture.
The recipe was supplied by Le Creuset to celebrate the launch of their beautiful new fig colourway range of homeware. It’s really quite gorgeous.
