Ingredients

60 gram butter, softened

1/2 cup loosely packed muscovado or brown sugar

1 tablespoon golden syrup

2/3 cup dates, chopped

100 gram butter, melted

2 tablespoon treacle

3 eggs

1/2 teaspoon orange zest

2/3 cup self-raising flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 generous cup fresh breadcrumbs

1/4 cup firmly packed muscovado or brown sugar

1 small apple, peeled, cored and finely diced

cream or vanilla ice cream, to serve (optional)

Method

1.Place 4 moulds (we used ramekins) in the freezer for at least 10 minutes.

2.Place the 60g of butter, muscovado or brown sugar and golden syrup into a food processor. Process until combined or mix the ingredients together in a bowl with a wooden spoon. Using a palette knife, spread the mixture evenly inside each ramekin or mould. Place the ramekins or moulds back in the freezer until you need to use them.

3.Heat your oven to 170°C on bake or 150°C on fan bake.

4.Place all the remaining ingredients in the food processor and pulse until combined. Alternatively, mix together in a bowl with a wooden spoon.

5.Divide the mixture evenly between the ramekins. Cover them with tin foil and bake for 15 minutes. Turn out onto plates and serve with cream and/or vanilla ice cream.
