Seasonal spices make this sweet and super moist Vegan Nog Sticky Toffee Pudding a wonderful crowd-pleasing holiday dessert.
Sticky toffee pudding. Just the name makes your mouth water, doesn't it?
I have to admit though, I had never heard of it until a few years ago in 2019. I forget where I saw it for the first time, but right away, it caught my attention. After looking for recipes and pictures online, I became even more curious about it. And because there's nothing I love more than a challenge when it comes to cooking, I was determined to come up with a vegan version of it.
This must have been of those recipes that we were meant to come up with because we barely had to do any testing. Came out perfectly after the first try. And you know what else? When we asked our followers on Facebook what Holiday treats they would like to see "veganized", the first response was (yes, you guessed it), sticky toffee pudding. To give it a holiday spin, we used vegan nog instead of plant milk for the cake and sauce.
So here it is. Hope you enjoy it!
