Old Fashioned Date pudding brings back so many memories of my aunts and grandmother. This dessert was always served at Christmas time with lots of whipped cream. The top cake part is chockfull of dates and the bottom is a sticky caramel layer. So delicious!
I love to bake sugar-free and when I need a sugar-free syrup, the best kind I have found is ChocZero. The Caramel Syrup works perfectly in this dessert.
Dates are one of nature’s sweetest treats. Their high sugar content is lessened by the increased fiber in them. Dates are a good source of potassium, magnesium, iron, and also supply six essential B vitamins, including folate and pantothenic acid. They have a high concentration of polyphenols, an antioxidant that protects against cellular damage.
