Can I make your gluten-free sticky toffee pudding recipe dairy-free?

Of course you can. This recipe is really simple to make dairy-free with a few simple swaps.

For the pudding itself, simply substitute butter and milk for any kind of dairy-free margarine and dairy-free milk. For the sticky toffee sauce, simply use dairy-free margarine again and any kind of dairy-free cream instead of regular cream.

If serving up with custard or vanilla ice cream, make sure they’re dairy-free too. Bird’s custard powder is not only gluten-free, but it’s dairy-free too, just make sure you mix it with a dairy-free milk.

Is your gluten-free sticky toffee pudding recipe nut-free?

Yep, this is a nut-free recipe as far as ingredients go. BUT ensure that you check the ingredients that you pick up from the store and confirm that they do not include nuts.

Even if the products don’t contain nuts, they may have a ‘may contain nuts’ warning due to being produced in a factory that handles nuts, so choose at your own discretion.

Can I make your gluten-free sticky toffee pudding recipe by hand?

You can of course, bake this without any assistance from appliances, all you’d need is a hand whisk and a somewhat strong forearm.

Just make sure you give it a lot of ‘oomph, or else the mixture may not be consistent and it wont turn out quite right.

Ingredients for the sticky toffee sauce

• 125g light brown sugar
• 1 tbsp black treacle
• 300ml double cream (dairy-free cream or lactose-free cream if necessary)
• 100g butter (dairy-free if necessary)

Instructions to make your sponge:

1. Preheat your oven to 160C Fan / 180C.
2. Place all your ingredients for the pudding (except the milk) into a large bowl and whisk together until well combined.
3. Pour the milk into the bowl in three stages, whisking in between each addition.
4. Pour your mixture into a greased casserole dish. We used a 28cm x 18cm rectangular baking tin. Pop into the oven for about 40 minutes. It should have risen up. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly in the dish – this is where you will serve it from.

To make your sauce:

• Whilst the pudding is in the oven, you can make your sauce. Pop all your ingredients into a small saucepan, allowing the butter to melt and the sugar to dissolve. Keep stirring. Bring to the boil and stir for a few minutes more before removing from the heat. The sticky toffee sauce will thicken a lot as it cools.

To serve:

Cut your sponge into squares as big as you like. If they’ve completely cooled, we’d recommend briefly heating them in the microwave again.

Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if using or serve with custard.

Pour a little of the hot, sticky toffee sauce over each portion of sticky toffee pudding. Enjoy!
