I made a dairy free version and used Nuttlex instead of butter, rice milk and white spelt flour. I cooked them in pyrex ramekins on a baking tray in case the caramel bubbled up while cooking (which it did) so no mess in the oven. These were delicious served with coconut ice-cream.

Hi Vanessa, yes there should be a lot of caramel sauce. The sauce will sit at the bottom of the pudding, with a little having bubbled up the sides of the mould. It’s a good idea to let them sit for a few minutes before serving. The sauce will thicken and start to soak back into the pudding.  The DH team

Hi, I tried this tonight exactly however it the pudding turned out fine, but sauce was like soup and hence it didn’t look anything like the picture - tasty but what did I do wrong !  Was the sauce meant to be 1 3/4 cups as it seems way too much.
