Toffee Dessert Recipes

STICKY TOFFEE PUDDING

Steps:

• For the sauce: In a heavy saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 1/4 cups of the heavy cream, the sugar, corn syrup and butter. Cook, stirring often, until a dark amber color, about 40 minutes. Carefully add the remaining 1 1/4 cups heavy cream. IT WILL BUBBLE UP AND IT IS HOT!
• For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease seven 1/2 cup ramekins and set aside.
• Combine the dates and 3/4 cup water in a small saucepan and cook until the dates are softened, about 15 minutes. Puree in a blender and cool. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a small bowl and set aside.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream the brown sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla, egg, zest and date puree. Stir in the dry ingredients. Divide into the prepared ramekins and bake about 20 minutes. Cool slightly and remove the cakes from the ramekins. Slice the cakes in half horizontally. Rinse out the ramekins. Pour a little toffee sauce in the bottom of the ramekins and top with the bottom layer of the cake. Add more toffee sauce, place the top cake layer on top and cover with more sauce. Heat slightly before serving invert onto plate and yes ...cover with more sauce. Serve with whipped cream.

EASY STICKY-TOFFEE DESSERT

Steps:

• For the cake: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and butter a 1 1/2-quart capacity baking dish.
• Combine the sugar with the flour in a large bowl. Pour the milk into a measuring cup, beat in the egg, vanilla and melted butter and then pour this mixture over the sugar and flour, stirring with a wooden spoon to combine. Fold in the dates then scrape into the prepared baking dish. Don't worry if it doesn't look very full; it will by the time it cooks.
• For the sauce: Sprinkle the sugar over the cake mixture and dot with butter. Pour over the boiling water (yes really!) and transfer to the oven. Set the time for 45 minutes, though you might find the dessert needs 5 or 10 minutes more. The top of the dessert should be springy and spongy when it's cooked; underneath, the butter, dark brown sugar and boiling water will have turned into a rich, sticky sauce. Serve with vanilla ice cream, creme fraiche or heavy or light cream, as you wish.

ANGEL TOFFEE DESSERT

Steps:

• Move oven rack to lowest position (remove other racks). Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Beat cake mix and cold water in extra-large glass or metal bowl on low speed 30 seconds; beat on medium speed 1 minute. Pour into ungreased 10x4-inch angel food cake pan (tube pan). (Do not use fluted tube cake pan or 9x3 1/2-inch angel food pan, or batter will overflow.)
• Bake 37 to 47 minutes or until top is dark golden brown and cracks feel very dry and not sticky. Do not underbake. Immediately turn pan upside down onto glass bottle until cake is completely cool, about 1 hour. Run knife around edges; remove from pan.
• Crush or finely chop candy bars; reserve 1/3 cup. Fold remaining crushed candy into whipped topping.
• Tear cake into about 1-inch pieces. Mix cake pieces and whipped topping mixture. Press lightly in ungreased 13x9x2-inch rectangular pan. Sprinkle with reserved crushed candy. Freeze dessert about 1 1/2 hours or until firm. Cut into squares or spoon into dessert dishes. Freeze any remaining dessert.

EASY STICKY-TOFFEE DESSERT

• Combine the sugar with the flour in a large bowl.
• Pour the milk into a measuring cup, beat in the egg, vanilla and melted buter and then pour this mixture over the sugar and flour, stirring--just with a wooden spoon--to combine.
• Fold in the dates then scrape into the prepared baking dish.
• *Don't worry if it doesn't look very full: it will do by the time it cooks*.
• Sprinkle the sugar for the sauce over the batter and dot with the butter.
• Pour the boiling water over the whole thing (yes, really!) and transfer to the oven.
• Set timer for 45 minutes, though you might find the dessert needs 5 or 10 minutes more (this was a frustrating part, for whatever reason I ended up having to put it back in for almost 20 minutes-- but then it was very cake-like, Remember that it thickens up when you take it out).
• The top of the dessert should be springy and spongy when it's cooked; underneath, the butter, dark brown sugar and boiling water will have turned into a rich, sticky sauce.
• Serve with vanilla ice cream, creme fraiche or heavy or light cream as you wish.
