Add the water and dates to a small saucepan and simmer for 5 minutes, until the dates are juicy and have absorbed at least half of the water

Meanwhile, cream together the dairy-free butter and sugar. Stir in the flour, bicarbonate of soda and spices
4
Slowly mix in the dairy-free milk and stem ginger and syrup

Pour the mixture into the pudding basin and cover with foil. Bake for 50 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean

To make the sauce, add the syrup, vegan butter, sugar and vanilla to a small saucepan over a medium heat, stirring to melt. Simmer the sauce for 5 minutes

Prick the pudding a few times with a skewer and pour half the sauce over it, while still warm. Reserve the rest for serving
