This warm pudding combines a moist, beer-infused cake base with a sticky, buttery toffee sauce, perfectly complemented by a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an irresistible finish.

Ingredients

Scale

Butterbeer Sauce

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

Sticky Butterbeer Pudding

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

Instructions

  1. Prepare Butterbeer Sauce: Melt the butter in a deep saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 ¼ cups brown sugar and whisk until combined. Pour in the heavy cream, whisking continuously until the sauce is emulsified. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning or boiling over.
  2. Add Beer and Flavorings: Carefully stir in ⅓ cup beer, watching for spattering. Bring the sauce back to a boil and cook for an additional 3 to 4 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat, then whisk in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and ½ teaspoon kosher salt. Allow the sauce to cool; it will thicken further as it cools. The sauce can be stored in the refrigerator if made ahead.
  3. Preheat and Prepare Ramekins: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Brush six individual ramekins with softened butter or prepare an 8-inch square baking pan with butter. Arrange ramekins on a baking sheet for easy handling.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon kosher salt. Set this aside.
  5. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a separate large bowl, beat ¾ cup softened butter with ¾ cup brown sugar using a hand mixer until light, fluffy, and well combined.
  6. Add Eggs: Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Scrape down the bowl sides as needed for even mixing.
  7. Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Add all the dry ingredients to the creamed butter mixture and beat just until combined. Then mix in 3 tablespoons beer and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until just incorporated to keep the batter light.
  8. Assemble Puddings: Spoon 2 tablespoons of the cooled butterbeer sauce into the bottom of each buttered ramekin. Divide the batter evenly over the sauce, smoothing the tops. For ramekins, bake 20 to 25 minutes. If using the 8-inch pan, bake 40 to 45 minutes. Test doneness by inserting a toothpick; it should come out clean.
  9. Cool and Unmold: Remove puddings from the oven and cool on a wire rack for 5 to 10 minutes. Carefully invert each ramekin onto a plate and gently shake to release the pudding. Avoid cooling puddings completely in the ramekins to prevent sticking.
  10. 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 decadent, sticky treat warm for the best experience.

Notes

  • Use a mild ale or lager for the best complementary beer flavor; avoid overly bitter or strong-flavored beers.
  • The butterbeer sauce can be made a day ahead and refrigerated; gently rewarm before serving.
  • Ensure the eggs are at room temperature to help the batter emulsify properly and achieve a lighter texture.
  • To make this dessert vegan, substitute butter with vegan butter alternatives, use plant-based cream, and replace eggs with flax eggs, but the flavor and texture may vary.
  • Serving with vanilla ice cream balances the rich, sticky sauce with creamy coldness for a delightful contrast.
