STICKY DATE SLICE

I feel a bit guilty about this recipe because it’s so good and I’ve been “sitting” on it for so long. I haven’t been keeping it to myself deliberately, because this recipe is way too tasty to be secret, I just got distracted by so many other recipes. That’s the eternal dilemma, so many delicious recipes to make and share and so little time to blog them in.

Do you know I only discovered Sticky Date Pudding in my twenties? (Don’t worry, I’ve been making up for lost sticky date time ever since!) I was backpacking in the Warrambungles and our hostess Liz made delicious dinners every night. We actually only planned on staying one night, but when Liz served the sticky date pudding for dessert, we decided to stay an extra night… But only if she could promise me the leftover sticky date pud for dessert the next day. That’s a true story and that’s how my sticky date obsession was borne! First there was  Liz’s original Sticky Date Pudding, then there was the Sticky Date Cheesecake and let’s not forget the uber delicious  Sticky Date Cookies too! So I’m super pleased to add this delicious slice to my sticky date repetoire!
