Healthier Bread and Butter Pudding

Dessert doesn't need to be off the menu just because you're watching what you eat. We've given this classic recipe a makeover so you can still tuck in and enjoy. Light muscovado sugar combined with dates gives a delightful toffee flavour to this classic, comforting dessert that’s reassuringly low in fat.
