About the Hungry Jack's Sticky Date Pudding

The Sticky Date Pudding at Hungry Jack's is $4.80 and 958 kJ, which makes it one of the lightest desserts on the menu and the only hot one.

That combination is unusual and worth noting. At 958 kJ it carries less than half a Chocolate Sundae at 2,227 kJ, and roughly a third of a Biscoff Storm. A hot pudding sounds heavier than an ice cream and here it is not.

Sticky date pudding is an Australian and British staple, built on dates soaked and blended into the batter rather than added as pieces. The dates do two things: they sweeten the pudding without much added sugar, and they keep it moist for days in a way a plain sponge is not.

Butterscotch sauce is the traditional partner and it is what turns the pudding from good to worth ordering. At Hungry Jack's it is served warm, which matters, since cold butterscotch sets solid.

At $4.80 it is also one of the cheaper desserts on the menu, below all three sundaes at $6.05.

Who it suits: anyone who wants something warm after a meal, and anyone watching the numbers who still wants dessert. It is the sensible choice on this menu.

Pair it with a Jack's Cafe coffee. The full desserts menu is here.

Tips

  • The bicarbonate soak is the entire technique. It breaks the dates down and makes the pudding sticky rather than cakey.
  • Sauce over the pudding while both are hot. Cold sauce on warm pudding sits on top; hot on hot soaks in.
  • It improves overnight and reheats perfectly, which is rare for a baked dessert.

Variations

  • Add a scoop of soft serve alongside for the standard restaurant serve.
  • A splash of whisky in the sauce is traditional and considerably improves it.
  • Use the same butterscotch over a Soft Serve Cone.

Serve warm with hot butterscotch sauce and something cold alongside. The contrast is the whole point of the dish.

Hungry Jack's Sticky Date Pudding Questions

$4.80, below all three sundaes at $6.05.

958 kJ, less than half a Chocolate Sundae at 2,227 kJ and roughly a third of a Biscoff Storm.

Among the substantial ones, yes. Only the Drumstick Mini at 588 kJ and the Soft Serve Cone at 790 kJ come in lower.

Yes, and it is the only hot dessert on the Hungry Jack's menu. The butterscotch sauce is served warm too, which matters since cold butterscotch sets solid.

The dates are soaked in boiling water with bicarbonate of soda until they collapse into a paste, then folded through the batter with all their liquid. Skipping that gives you a date cake instead.
