Gooey Ginger Dessert
Gooey Ginger Dessert is as sticky and sweet as it looks ! Best served with ice-cream or whipped cream – enough for a crowd !
This Gooey Ginger Dessert is as sticky and sweet as it looks! The ginger is not overpowering, just enough to my liking.
We always finish this dessert in no time at all.
The sauce forms at the bottom as well as on top of the pudding. And is wonderful if you serve this with ice-cream with a scoop (or three!) of the sauce over the ice-cream.
Do make sure to use your largest (I use a 3 liter capacity) baking dish with a lid.
Of all my Winter desserts, this one is the one which is always on request, and it is enough for a crowd.

Notes
source: GESINSKOS recipe book
Serve warm with ice-cream/custard or whipped cream.
My sugar wouldn’t dissolve in the butter. Did I do something wrong
I can only think that the heat was too low, Jill. Also try continuous stirring whilst simmering
Can this be made in a crockpot?
Hi Norma, I have never made the dessert in a crockpot therefore can not give you any feedback. If you do try this in yours, would you be kind enough to let us know how it turned out ?
My mother used to make this pudding in the 70’s. She served it with a white rum sauce. If anyone has a recipe for the rum sauce, I’d so appreciate it. It looked like a white custard, it was sweet and she used to put rum essence in it.
@Jennie Quinn, nothing to do with the pudding ! I was at school in Grahamstown with a girl, surname Quinn. A cousin of hers lives near me and she can’t remember her first name either. If you are related either directly or an in law can you let me know. I remember she lived in Hellier St Grahamstown.
sorry mean 1.5 Litre dish
Debbie the dish I am using is a 3 litre deep round dish, therefore the 1.5 should work when only making half the recipe. As I have never made half, I would suggest you start peeking after about 40 minutes as the cooking times could vary, depending on the shape of the dish as well. Let me know how it works out and thank you for reading With A Blast !
Thanks for your response Linda, will let you know
Hi would love to bake this, but only want to make enough for about 6 people. Would the recipe still work if I just halved the ingredients and put into a 125 litre dish. if not please could you give me the correct quantities, look amazing and cant wait to bake. thanks for sharing
thanks
Debbie
Can it be made day before?
Yes it can, Linda ! The sauce will be less saucier though, but the pudding will still be very moist
Just made this and it is devine. Will add just a pinch of salt and extra teaspoon of ginger next time. Thanks for the recipe, will definitely make it often.
This sounds pretty tasty! The combination of ginger and apricot does sound good.
