Vegan Sticky Date Pudding with Coconut Caramel Sauce

Just a super quick post today – I have my last round of exams for my Herbal Medicine studies this year at the moment – but I’ll be done and dusted in about a week or so – yippee!

I made this last week and kept sneaking back to the fridge to nibble at it – it is SO good! I love sticky date anything.

Super easy, sweet and satisfying without any refined sugars. The coconut caramel sauce is far better than any dairy based version I’ve ever tried back in the day.

The secret ingredient is the mesquite powder – it has a beautiful natural caramel taste and is full of minerals, high in fibre, high in protein and low GI.
