Sticky date pudding

Now if I tell you I have never made sticky date pudding would you believe me?  
Well, I haven’t and after hearing how absolutely amazing it was the other night at the NCB I had to make it.
 
I can’t believe how easy it was to make and it was perfect to take when we went to a friend for dinner the other night.
