An indulgent and delicious dessert with a twist on a classic with my Biscoff sticky toffee pudding – heavenly!
Say hello to my new favourite dessert on my blog – the biscoff sticky toffee pudding… what more could you want?!
Classic puddings
We all know my love for classic bakes, right? I just want all the retro and iconic bakes that you grow up devouring every single day, and sticky toffee pudding is 100% one of them. If I could only bake classic bakes forever, I wouldn’t be mad about it.
A Victoria sponge, jammie dodgers, marble cake, or even bread and butter pudding, I would put them all under the classic umbrella and I adore them all. However, as much as I adore all of these classics, we all know I live a twist on a classic as well…. and that is where this beauty comes in; biscoff sticky toffee pudding.
I have posted my classic sticky toffee pudding before, and I completely and utterly adore it still (it’s my favourite pudding, ever) so if you want a classic one, I’d go check that recipe out instead.
Biscoff
Biscoff is by far the most popular flavour on my blog, with my most viewed recipe ever being my biscoff cheesecake. I have posted countless biscoff recipes as well as my stuffed nyc cookies, my biscoff drip cake, my white chocolate biscoff swirl cheesecake and my biscoff rolls to name a few… but I will genuinely say that I think this biscoff sticky toffee pudding is now in my top 3.
I just adore the slightly sweet but spicy and caramelised flavour of biscoff in any baked form. No-bake desserts, baked into stuff, the biscuits themselves, the spread smooth or crunchy… I love it. I am, however, sorry if you don’t… you can’t avoid it on this blog haha.
A while ago I had a small amount of biscoff spread left in a jar that I couldn’t really do much with other than eat with a spoon, so I decided to melt it down and pour it over a chunk of my regular sticky toffee pudding and it was utterly devine, so this made me think, why not make it a proper thing?!
Dates
When making a sticky toffee pudding, you really really really should use the dates. I know, some people don’t like them, but they are purposely blended in this recipe to get the best of both worlds in this recipe. The dates bring a beautiful flavour to the sticky toffee pudding that I don’t believe you can replicate well without.
Often, people don’t like eating lumps of dates, and I get that, so the fact that they are blended removes this problem. And also, if you do like dates, you can get to enjoy a delicious pudding full of them. Honestly, trust the process. I often use medjool dates as they’re my favourites, but honestly any will do – just make sure they are destoned.
Making the pudding
When making this pudding, it’s really quite easy. I start by soaking my dates and then blending them until smooth. You mix the other ingredients together in only a few goes and it all mixes really well and easily. Pour into a dish and bake
- Dates – as mentioned, I prefer medjool dates but any work
- Butter – you can use baking spread or actual butter for the sponge of this pudding
- Sugar – I used light brown soft sugar to suit the biscoff theme
- Eggs – medium eggs as always
- Flour – self raising flour as you want a lighter texture
- Raising agents – I add bicarb, and a little baking powder to this pudding
- Syrup – I used golden syrup, again to suit the biscoff theme
- Spices – A little sprinkle of cinnamon compliments the spices and flavour of biscoff
- Milk – I always add some whole milk to thin out my mixture and make it perfect
- Biscoff – I used the smooth spread
The sauce
The sauce is so simple, and that’s why I utterly adore it. It also does just taste incredible, but I think that goes without saying when you hear biscoff and sticky toffee together?!
- Butter – It’s important to use a block butter here and not a baking spread or margarine to prevent any splitting of the sauce
- Sugar – I use light brown sugar the same as the pudding itself
- Syrup – again, I use golden syrup so the same as the pudding
- Vanilla – a little bit of vanilla is always just delightful
- Cream – double cream is important (or the fattiest liquid cream your area sells)
- Biscoff – I used the smooth Biscoff spread so that the sauce was smooth
Tips & Tricks
- You can prep the sponge ahead of the time, and then make the sauce fresh if you want to get ahead
- The sauce can keep for 3+ days in the fridge
- The pudding can also keep in the fridge for 3+ days
- You can reheat (best done without the sauce)
- You can freeze the pudding for 3+ months
- The light brown sugar can be switch for dark brown
- The golden syrup can be switch for black treacle
- I used a medium sized baking dish for this pudding

I took this into work to share with my colleagues and they all said it was the best cake they had ever had. I cut into squares and covered in sticky toffee icing (in your sticky toffee cake recipe) so it was more like a traybake. I had so many compliments and many wanted the recipe. I was very popular that day! 🙂
Hi, could this be made in individual ramekins? (love your recipes btw and this one sounds amazing!)
Could this be made as individual cupcake for easy serving at a party?
Hi this looks amazing! What would be the best way to reheat? I don’t want to overcook it or spoil it! X
Hi, can be sponge mix be made ahead of time and kept in the fridge until ready to bake?
Hi, can I prep the sponge mix (uncooked) and keep it in the fridge until ready to bake?
Hi, when I made the sauce it seemed really thick and then separated immediately when I began to boil it, I used the butter as per the recipe, is there any way to rescue this, I tried cooling a little then reheating and stirring but that didn’t seem to work, but maybe I wasn’t patient enough?
You can leave it cool, and then use a little full fat milk or extra cream and simply stir it though to bring it back x
Hi Jane, love this recipe, would a 9×9 inch tray be suitable?
A medium baking dish is around 30x20cm in size, so it may be slightly too small so you may have leftover mixture! x
I’d love to make this today, Please advise me on the actual tin size? Many Thanks
This looks Devine. Can’t wait to make it. You said you used a medium baking dish, any links to suitable sizes so it bakes well?
A medium dish can vary in size depending on where you buy them from but they are all around the 30x20cm size! x
Hi Jane, just love your recipes and have just pre-ordered your new book! I cannot wait to see what exciting new recipes there are to try!. Biscoff Sticky Toffee pudding was my latest bake, but for some reason it took 15-20 mins over the 35 mins suggested as it was very very wobbly in the middle. It was eaten and enjoyed by all as all your recipes! So strange as the Sticky Toffee pudding and other recipes are normally spot on or only another couple of minutes are needed. Was wondering if you could think of why this could please? x
This likely just means the baking dish you used is a different size, so the depth meant it needed a longer bake time! As long as it tasted delicious! xx
It doesn’t say on this recipe when to add the dates, although the post on Instagram says to add them when you add the biscoff spread x
It does on step five of the method x
Hi I made this (without dates as I don’t like them) everything else the same and baked for 35 mins but the
Middle was still runny. I used a loaf tin, does it need longer in the oven?
A loaf tin will need far longer, and if you didn’t include the dates this can also cause an issue with the bake time as you have changed the recipe x
Hi, what would be the best way to reheat the sponge if you make it ahead? Thank you
Covered in foil in the oven if it’s all of it, but microwave is probably fine for individual slices! x
How much water do you use to soak thr dates please?
Listed in the ingredients – 175ml!
This sounds amazing, is it possible to make without the dates?
As mentioned on the post, you really should make it with!
Hi, this sounds heavenly. We love anything biscoff!
Can the sauce be frozen?
Yes, it can!!
Hi, do you blend the soaked dates with the water they’re in or take them out first? Thanks!
Blend in the water! x
All biscoff lovers ❤️ this is one for keeps and it’s allllllllll mine 😋 thanks 👌 jane to the rescue again mm mmmmm mmmmmmm
Hi, this looks delicious, really want to try this recipe, can you tell me the size of the medium tray you use please? X
A medium dish can vary in size depending on where you buy them from but they are all around the 30x20cm size! x
Hi Jane, I love your classic sticky toffee pudding and I’m even more excited to try this!! Would a 9×13 sized tray be suitable for this recipe please?
It may be slightly too big so the sponge will be quicker to bake! x
