A rice cooker might be the easiest way to make sticky toffee pudding.
Most people think of a rice cooker as a one-trick appliance, but it's really a smart, temperature-controlled cooking vessel. That gentle, consistent heat is perfect for creating a soft, moist sponge without the risk of overbaking.
This version starts with dates for deep caramel sweetness, then takes things up a notch with a splash of whisky in the toffee sauce. The result is a rich, comforting dessert with plenty of depth and just the right amount of indulgence.
If you've only been using your rice cooker for rice, it might be time to put it to work on dessert.
