About Toffee pudding

Toffee pudding is a traditional dessert from the United Kingdom, often associated with sticky toffee pudding, a moist sponge cake made with dates and served with a rich toffee sauce. Its origins trace back to British cuisine, where it became popular as a comforting, indulgent treat. Nutritionally, toffee pudding is high in carbohydrates and sugars due to its sweet syrup base and sponge, and it provides moderate amounts of fats from butter and cream. While it is not typically rich in essential nutrients, small amounts of dietary fiber can be present if prepared with dates or similar fruits.

Health Benefits

• Dates, often used in the pudding, provide dietary fiber (6.7g per 100g), which supports digestive health.
• Dates also contain potassium (696mg per 100g), which is essential for muscle and nerve function.
• Butter or cream in the recipe contributes small amounts of vitamin A, which supports vision and immune health.
