Ingredients

Scale

Butterbeer Sauce

  • ½ cup butter
  • 1 ¼ cups brown sugar
  • ¾ cup heavy cream
  • ⅓ cup beer (such as ale)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp kosher salt

Sticky Butterbeer Pudding

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • ¾ cup softened butter (plus extra for greasing)
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 3 tbsp beer (such as ale)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 recipe Butterbeer Sauce (prepared as above)
  • Vanilla ice cream (to serve)

Instructions

  1. Make Butterbeer Sauce: Melt the butter over medium heat in a deep saucepan. Add the brown sugar and whisk well. Pour in the heavy cream and whisk until the sauce is fully emulsified. Bring it to a gentle boil, cooking for 2 to 3 minutes while stirring occasionally to avoid boiling over.
  2. Add Beer to Sauce: Carefully stir in the beer, watching for spattering or boiling over. Bring the sauce back to a boil and cook for an additional 3 to 4 minutes until it thickens slightly. Remove from heat, then whisk in vanilla extract and kosher salt. Let the sauce cool before using. It can be stored in the fridge and will thicken further as it cools.
  3. Prepare for Baking: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Butter six individual ramekins with softened butter and place them on a baking sheet. Alternatively, grease an 8-inch square baking dish if you prefer a single pudding.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and kosher salt. Set aside.
  5. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a separate large bowl, beat the softened butter and brown sugar using a hand mixer until the mixture is light, fluffy, and well combined.
  6. Add Eggs: Beat the eggs into the creamed butter mixture one at a time, ensuring they are fully incorporated. Scrape the bowl sides as needed to mix thoroughly.
  7. Combine Batter: Add all the dry ingredients to the wet mixture at once, and beat gently just until combined. Finally, stir in the beer and vanilla extract, mixing until just blended to avoid overmixing.
  8. Assemble Puddings: Spoon about two tablespoons of cooled Butterbeer sauce into the bottom of each greased ramekin. Divide the batter evenly among the ramekins, smoothing the tops with a spatula. For the baking dish, pour batter evenly and smooth top.
  9. Bake: Bake the ramekins for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The 8-inch baking dish requires 40 to 45 minutes baking time.
  10. Cool and Unmold: Remove the puddings from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack for 5 to 10 minutes. Carefully flip each ramekin over a plate and gently shake to release the pudding. Avoid letting them cool completely in the ramekin to prevent sticking.
  11. Serve: Warm the remaining Butterbeer sauce before serving. Plate each pudding with a generous drizzle of warm sauce and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Enjoy this comforting and festive dessert warm.

Notes

  • The beer used is typically a mild ale; feel free to choose your favorite for flavor variation.
  • For best results, use softened butter at room temperature to ensure smooth mixing.
  • The Butterbeer Sauce can be made ahead and refrigerated; warm gently before serving.
  • If you prefer, this dessert can be made in a single baking dish instead of individual ramekins—adjust baking time accordingly.
  • Serve immediately after unmolding for clean presentation and best texture.
  • Vanilla ice cream complements the warm pudding, balancing sweetness and adding creaminess.
