American in UK blown away after trying sticking toffee pudding for first time

By staff20 July 2025No Comments3 Mins Read

When it comes to desserts, there’s a number of British classics and sticky toffee pudding is one of them. An American man who relocated to the UK has shared his first time trying it

Sticky toffee pudding is a traditional British dessert made up of a moist sponge cake soaked in a rich toffee sauce and is often served with vanilla custard. The cake is typically filled with dates that add sweetness and moisture to the pudding.

This famous English dessert can be found throughout the UK but it is particularly popular in the Lake District and the village of Cartmel, where it is thought to have been created. Russell, a man from Chicago, United States, who moved to the UK, shares travel, culture and food reviews on TikTok. He recently posted a video on the platform about his first time trying sticky toffee pudding.

The American expat headed to Heavenly Desserts in Liverpool, which he observed to be a sit down restaurant just for desserts.

Russell was “very excited to see what they have.” He walked into the upmarket dessert cafe with branches across the UK and took a look at the menu.

The food reviewer spotted the “very tasty looking drinks” and opted for a cherry blossom and lychee seltzer and a passion fruit mojito.

He firstly took a sip of the seltzer and found it “so good” but he enjoyed the mojito even more.

Russell said: “The passion fruit mojito absolutely finessed my taste buds. It was so hot today, perfect refresher.”

After cooling down with the beverages, he moved onto dessert and had his first ever sticky toffee pudding.

He got it with custard, realising that “this seems to be the British way.” The foodie doused the pudding in custard and then had his first spoonful.

Russell exclaimed: “Woah! It’s like a sticky brownie. This is such a unique flavour.” He added: “Also, I am officially in love with drowning anything I eat in custard. At this point I’m just eating spoonfuls of custard.”

The American expat’s TikTok video has garnered 154,000 views, 14,500 likes and more than 200 comments, at the time of writing.

One user said: “I love sticky toffee pudding, but I’m not a fan of custard. I’d rather have ice cream or cream.”

Another fan of the classic British dessert shared: “Sticky toffee pudding is one of my all time favourite desserts.” A third declared: “Sticky toffee pudding is THE BEST dessert EVER!”

Someone else suggested not to go to “upscale places” if you want to try “real British food” and go somewhere that has a more comfortable, homely atmosphere instead.

Sticky toffee is a warm, comfort food that can be found at pubs, restaurants, hotels and some cafes.

It can also be made at home by following recipes from celebrity chefs, including Gordon Ramsay, James Martin and Mary Berry, as well as the food writer and TV cook Nigella Lawson.
