Ingredients

150g pitted dates
120ml honey
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs
75g self-raising flour
1/2 tsp salt

How to make it

  • Start by preheating the oven to 180c/350f/Gas 4.
  • Grease your ramekins with a little butter or olive oil cooking spray.
  • Place the dates and 150ml water in a pan and simmer for 5 minutes. Transfer the dates and water to a food processor or high speed blender, add the honey and vanilla extract and blend until smooth.
  • Next, separate the egg yolks from the egg whites, keeping both.
  • Pour the mixture into a large bowl and mix in the egg yolks, followed by the flour and salt.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff, then fold into the rest of the ingredients.
  • Pour the mixture into the ramekins and place a little piece of foil tightly on top of each.
  • Transfer the ramekins to an ovenproof dish and fill the dish with water, halfway up the height of the ramekins.
  • Cook for 45-55 minutes, or until a skewer comes out dry.
