½ cup dates, chopped in half
3 tablespoons water
1 cup almond meal
1 cup dried mixed fruit
¼ cup dried cranberries
¼ teaspoon ground cardamom
¼ teaspoon ground coriander
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
pinch of salt
1/3 cup water
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 tablespoon sunflower seed spread or nut spread
2 teaspoons agar powder
Place dates and water in small saucepan, simmer on low heat for 1 minute with lid on, take off heat, let dates sit and absorb moisture for 3-5 minutes, then mash with fork. In a bowl, mix together with a fork the meal, dried fruits, spices and mashed dates In a small saucepan add the remaining wet ingredients (except agar), bring to the boil and then quickly stir in with a whisk the agar powder and simmer for 20 seconds. Take off heat, add dried fruit mixture to the saucepan and mix well. Place spoonfuls of mixture into the greased muffin tins (normal size muffin tin) and press down firmly on mixture with spoon. Let sit for 2 minutes and press mixture down with hand for a firm mold. Repeat with damp hands to get a smooth finish on bottom of pudding. Cool in freezer for 25 minutes, then run knife around edge and pop mini puddings out. Ready to serve with hot pour on custard. Store in fridge or freezer. On eating reheat slightly so as not to reverse agar reaction.
I will not forget you.
