Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease four muffin tins with butter. Place the dates and baking soda in a bowl, pour over 200 ml boiling water, let sit for a few minutes until soft, then drain. Pulse 3/4 of the dates in a food processor or with an immersion blender until smooth; chop the remaining dates.

Meanwhile, for the sauce, combine butter, sugar, and cream in a saucepan over low heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves, the sauce thickens, and darkens. Carefully release the finished pudding from the tins, plate it, top each serving with a piece of cold butter, and drizzle with caramel sauce.
