A few years ago, I entered a national flavor search contest hosted by Food Network and Haagen-Dazs. Long story short, I WON! My ice cream pitch became a reality (and a reality show) and before I knew it, I was finding my name under lids of Sticky Toffee Pudding ice cream. This is the dessert that started it all. Sticky Toffee Pudding (or STP as I like to say) is nothing new. It's actually a very old-fashioned British dessert of steamed brown sugar cake flavored with dates served with toffee sauce and vanilla ice cream. Don't be scared by the mention of dates. You'd never know they were in there. I love this dessert because it's the toffee version of a really good molten chocolate cake. It's warm, a little gooey, and perfect when served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Over the years, I've had many version of STP and this is still my favorite.
