The ingredients come together to create a luscious and enjoyable dessert.

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Tear the Kings Hawaiian Sweet Round Bread into small pieces and place them in a large bowl.
3. In a saucepan, combine the dates with some water and cook until softened, then mash them to form a smooth paste.
4. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and sugar; then mix in the date paste until well combined.

Tips & Variations

• Ingredient substitutions: If you don’t have dates, you can use dried figs or prunes for a similar sweetness. For a dairy-free version, substitute almond milk and coconut cream.
• Optional variations: Add chopped nuts for texture, or incorporate chocolate chips for a sweet twist. Spice it up with cinnamon or nutmeg for added warmth.
• Storage or reheating tips: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat in the oven or microwave, and drizzle with fresh toffee sauce before serving.
