~ "Sticky Date Pudding” ~
I don’t know why but when temperature drops and the weather gets chilly, I start craving for a warm dessert. Do you get the same desire? If yes, then you must try this Vegan Sticky Date Pudding. It is super soft, moist, spongy, and sweet with a hint of ginger spice. Oh yes, do not forget to pour caramel sauce over the date pudding. It is a marriage made in heaven.
