skinnymixer’s Sticky Date Pudding with Caramel Sauce

Sharing is caring!

While I LOVE sticky date pudding in the Thermomix, I have found that since I have reduced the amount of sugar in my diet I find it too sickly sweet to actually enjoy… until now! I find this recipe is the epitome of what Skinnymixers has always been about for me – turning recipes that we all know and love into healthier, but still as amazing, versions. I don’t think you will miss your ‘old’ recipe for sticky date after trying mine 😉 Love Nik xx
