Beef Free Dark Chocolate & Almond Baked Plums
Warm, jammy plums straight from the oven with a crackly dark chocolate and almond topping ā this dessert feels far more indulgent than the ingredient list suggests. The plums soften beautifully as they bake, releasing sweet, syrupy juices that pool around the edges of the dish and mingle with the toasted nut crumble on top. Coconut oil, maple syrup, and a pinch of sea salt pull the topping together into something that's equal parts rustic and sophisticated. A whisper of ground ginger in the crumble adds just enough warmth to make every bite interesting. This is the kind of recipe that looks impressive enough for guests but comes together with almost no effort ā no mixer, no special equipment, just a bowl and a baking dish. A drizzle of honey over the top right before serving takes it from weeknight treat to dinner-party worthy. Serve it warm and don't be surprised when people ask for seconds.
