Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease an 8-inch square or round baking pan with coconut oil.
Chop the Medjool dates into small pieces and place them in a bowl. Pour the boiling water over the dates and stir in the baking soda. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to soften the dates.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together almond milk, coconut sugar, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Once the date mixture has cooled slightly, mash the dates with a fork until they form a chunky paste. Add this into the wet ingredients and stir to combine.
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
While the pudding bakes, prepare the sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the coconut cream and additional coconut sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar has dissolved, and the mixture thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat.
Once the pudding is done, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 minutes. Poke small holes into the surface of the pudding with a skewer or fork.
Pour half of the prepared coconut toffee sauce over the pudding, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Let it soak for a few minutes.
Cut the pudding into portions and serve warm, with the remaining toffee sauce drizzled over the top.
