Question 1

What can I use instead of coconut cream in the toffee sauce?

Accepted Answer

If you're not a fan of coconut or can't find coconut cream, you can use any plant-based cream (such as oat cream, soy cream, or almond cream) for the sauce. Just ensure that it's a creamy, rich variety to get the right texture.

Question 2

Can I freeze vegan sticky toffee pudding?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! To freeze, allow the pudding to cool completely, then wrap it tightly in cling film or foil and place it in an airtight container. It can be frozen for up to 3 months. To serve, defrost in the fridge overnight and reheat in the oven until warmed through. The toffee sauce can also be frozen separately.

Question 3

Is the store-bought puff pastry vegan for serving with the pudding?

Accepted Answer

Most store-bought puff pastries in the UK are accidentally vegan, but always check the label to be sure, as some brands may contain butter. This is especially relevant if you're serving a pastry dessert alongside your pudding.

Question 4

Can I use regular dates instead of Medjool dates?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can use standard pitted dates if you don't have Medjool dates. However, regular dates are usually firmer, so you may need to soak them in hot water for 10-15 minutes before using to soften them up.
