Freshly steamed sticky toffee pudding brings warmth on many a winter night, yet my wife's passion for sticky toffee pudding seems to be year-round. While I personally prefer to have my sticky toffee pudding served with a rather large dollop of cornish clotted cream, a cool scoup of vanilla ice cream is prevelant. This summer, in facilitating my wife's cravings, it dawned on me that perhaps both ice cream and pudding could be incorperated together to produce a summery variation of a wintery classic: sticky toffee pudding ice cream.
Combining sticky dates and a luscious toffee sauce, this ice cream is rich and moreish. A hint of lemon cuts through the sweetness. Suffice to say, my wife approved.
This recipe requires the use of an ice cream machine and a food processor. If you want to take this to another level, you could make some sticky toffee pudding and layer it into the ice cream tub when decanting the ice cream for freezing. Don't worry if it tastes very sweet if you taste the custard before churning, it will be much less sweet once frozen.
