Dates-Biscuit Pudding Recipe – Biscuit Pudding Recipe with Dates

17 Comments

This month I was determined to do a fairly good job with all the events. I mean, in terms of participation, of course. One of my favourites is AFAM but unfortunately I wasn’t able to participate in the last one because of the unavilability of peaches in the near vicinity of my home.

This month’s fuit, dates, is a real delight because it is so readily available and in so many different varieties and prices. I bought a tub of lion dates from Food Bazar yesterday. I am going home in vacation for 10 days and may not be able to cook with dates at home, so was determined to come up with something simple for this month’s AFAM, hosted by Chandrika of Akshayapatra.

I love puddings with biscuits in it. Soggy, crunchy, however they may taste. I especially love Marie biscuits for its subtle crunchiness and added flavour. So this is a humble attempt from me to make something nice with biscuits and dates.

Dates-Biscuit Pudding Recipe

Ingredients:
Dates – 10, chopped
Marie biscuits – 8, crushed coarsely
Butter – 4 tbsp, unsalted
Sugar – 2 tsp
Egg – 1, optional
Cashew nuts – a few, chopped

How I Made It:

1. Heat butter on low flame and mix sugar until dissolved.

2. Add chopped dates and cook till soft and a nice smell eminates. Then add the nuts.

3. Remove from fire and while hot, add the beaten egg. Mix well.

4. Stir in the crushed biscuits and let cool.

5. Refrigerate for 3 hours and serve. The consistency would be thick and sticky. I served it in a bowl. You can also try and roll it into balls and coat it with powdered Marie biscuits. The flavour of the caremalized sugar in butter and the crunchiness of the Marie biscuits makes this really yummy. Kids would also love it.

  1. Hi Nags…i tried and is really great. But want to check whether can make it bit more softer or soggy by increasing the quantity of any of the ingrediants?

  3. The recipe sounds good (sadly the pic is not loading and I can't see how u have presented it). By the way, the egg in this recipe doesn't get cooked? how is that?

    • can't seem to find the picture any more. the egg is optional and if you are using it, you need to add it when the mixture is hot so it gets cooked in that heat.

  5. I tried this today. It tastes very good, planning to take this a dessert for our next potluck dinner. Only thing I felt is you can reduce the butter amount to half or 1/3rd as I was left with a lot butter after I made balls out of it and rolled it in marie biscuit crumps.
