Or pay together with

A dark, sticky date pudding with figs through it, and a butterscotch sauce of brown sugar, cream and butter to pour over it while it is still hot.

There are some desserts that never go out of fashion, and a beautiful, warmsticky date pudding is definitely one of them.

Paolo's taken this much-loved classic and given it a little Christmas twist with the addition of sweet, luscious figs. The result is a wonderfully soft pudding with a rich caramel flavour that's comforting, indulgent and just the thing to finish a Christmas feast.

And of course, no sticky date pudding would be complete without a generous helping ofbutterscotch sauce. Paolo's is rich, buttery and velvety smooth, made with brown sugar, cream and butter for that irresistible caramel sweetness.

The best part is that all the baking has been done for you. Simply thaw, warm the pudding and gently heat the sauce before pouring it over the top.

Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and let it melt into the warm butterscotch sauce.

A gorgeousChristmas dessert that feels homemade, without spending the afternoon in the kitchen.

FAQ's

Paolo adds dried figs to the classic sticky date base, giving it a deeper, more festive character alongside the usual rich, caramelised sweetness — a small twist that makes it feel suited to Christmas.

Defrost in the fridge, then heat the pudding covered with foil for 30 minutes (or 6–8 minutes in the microwave). Reheat the butterscotch sauce separately in a saucepan over medium heat, whisking occasionally for 3–5 minutes, then pour over just before serving.

Butterscotch is made with brown sugar, cream and butter, warmed together until it thickens. Caramel is made by cooking white sugar until it colours. That difference is why butterscotch tastes of butter and molasses where caramel tastes of burnt sugar, and why butterscotch is softer and less sharp. Ours is made from just those three things, so it pours smoothly over a hot pudding and soaks in rather than sitting on top.
