We don't think we have to say much here, they pretty much speak for themselves. We've taken the humble crumpet and gave them a british classic dessert twist. You probably have everything in your cupboards already to make them too!

Method

In a bowl soften pitted dates in hot water and bicarbonate of soda. Leave for 10 mins, remove from the water and mash together with 1 to 2 tbsps of double cream to create a paste.

Add butter, brown sugar and vanilla to the date paste. Combine well then spread over the top and bottom of 2 crumpets. Airfry for 10 mins at 160ºC.

For the sauce add double cream, light brown sugar, treacle, butter, vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to a jug then microwave for 30 second bursts, stirring in between, until thickened. Leave to cool.

Serve with a scoop of ice cream.
