Has anyone made these individually in muffin tins or small containers, if they were done in individual containers would I sit them in a water bath or would the muffin tins be ok! also if you have a nice recipe please share, I did search but all that comes up is the annabel langbein one and I dont want that one!

I have made them in muffin tins before.Just cooked them for less time than the recipe said (easy to tell when cooked - just like a cake).All turned out good.Didn't use a water bath.

Yes I make them in muffin tins just adjust cooking time. They freeze well too for quick and easy dessert.

Try googling the Tupperware recipe, it's done in the microwave, meaning it's really moist.I've done individual ones & they are just as good.I used the flexible muffin cooking trays (Tupperware also).

Place dates and baking soda in bowl, pour over boiling water, leave to stand for 20 minutes.Beat butter, sugar and vanilla essence until pale and creamy, add eggs, one at a time.Fold through date mixture and flour.Bake 35-40 minutes 180c.
Caramel Sauce
1 cup brown sugar 300ml cream 60g butter 1/2 tsp vanilla essence
Combine all ingredients in pot, bring to boil, simmer 2 minutes.
Enjoy

This is mine, I have made it in the big muffin tins and it was fine, so I think normal sized ones would be good also. When I first made this my daugther said 'oh yuck dates', but it is now her most favourite and when I ask what she would like she will request this!
Sticky Date Pudding
1 Cup chopped pitted dates, 1 tsp baking soda, 1 Cup boiling water, 90g butter (room temp), 1/2 cup brown sugar, 2 eggs, 1 tsp vanilla, 1 1/2 cups SR Flour,
SAUCE: 1 cup brown sugar, 1 cup cream, 90g butter.
Preheat oven to 180oC. Place dates, water & soda in bowl. Stand for 15 mins. In another bowl beat butter & sugar until creamy. Add eggs, 1 at a time. Blend in vanilla. Fold in flour alternatively with dates and liquid. Pour into greased 2 ltr dish. Cook 30 – 40 mins.
SAUCE: Place sugar, cream & butter in a small saucepan. Heat stirring, until boiling. Reduce heat. Simmer for 5 mins.
The recipe as posted by lodgelocum appears to be the same as the recipe on this link, except for the 'missing' eggs and the recipe on the link is cooked as one large pudding.
Hope that helps.:-))
