Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 150g Medjool dates, pitted and chopped
  • 1/4 cup hot water
  • 3/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2/3 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/8 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1 egg
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2/3 cup salted butter (for sauce)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar (for sauce)
  • 1 pinch salt (for sauce)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (for sauce)
  • Vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease 4–6 ramekins or a muffin tin and set aside.
  2. Soak chopped Medjool dates in ¼ cup hot water for 10 minutes. Blend into a smooth paste.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the egg, egg yolk, milk, vanilla extract, and brown sugar until fully combined.
  4. Stir in the date paste, then add flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until smooth.
  5. Fold in the dark chocolate chips.
  6. Divide batter evenly between the prepared ramekins. Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs. Let cool slightly.
  7. While the puddings bake, make the sauce: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add cream, brown sugar, salt, and vanilla extract. Simmer for 4–5 minutes, stirring often, until thickened.
  8. Invert warm puddings onto serving plates. Drizzle with hot fudge sauce and top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired.
  9. Serve immediately for maximum gooey goodness.

Notes

  • Use Medjool dates for the richest texture and flavor.
  • Blend dates thoroughly for a smooth pudding base.
  • Adjust baking time based on ramekin size — smaller sizes may need less time.
  • Puddings can be made ahead and gently reheated before serving with fresh sauce.
