Preparation

Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C (320°F (160°C)) fan-forced).
Grease and flour six 1-cup dariole moulds.
Chop the dates and place them in a saucepan with 180ml water.
Bring to a boil, then remove from heat and stir in the bicarbonate of soda.
Let it sit for 15 minutes.

Cooking

In a mixing bowl, cream the butter, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until pale and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time.
Fold in the date mixture and self-raising flour until just combined.
Divide the batter among the prepared moulds and bake for 25 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
For the caramel sauce, soak the red dates in boiling water for 30 minutes, then drain and puree in a food processor.
In a saucepan, combine the date paste, brown sugar, coconut cream, vanilla extract, butter, and orange juice.
Cook over medium heat until boiling, then reduce to a simmer for 2 minutes.

Plating & Serving

Spoon a little caramel sauce into the bottom of each serving bowl.
Place a turned-out pudding on top, drizzle with additional caramel sauce, and serve with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream or coconut sorbet and an orange segment.

Notes

The puddings and caramel sauce can be prepared ahead of time and reheated in the microwave before serving.
