Carrageenan Free Dark Chocolate & Almond Baked Plums

Warm, jammy plums straight from the oven with a crunchy chocolate-almond crumble piled on top — this dessert is the kind of thing that looks far more impressive than the effort it takes. The plums soften and release their sweet, tangy juices as they bake, while the topping of chopped almonds, dark chocolate, almond flour, coconut oil, and maple syrup clusters into a golden, fragrant crust. A pinch of sea salt and a whisper of ground ginger in the crumble make the whole thing taste genuinely complex. Carrageenan is a thickener that sneaks into a surprising number of chocolate products and dairy-free alternatives, but every ingredient here is straightforward and whole — no emulsifiers, no additives, nothing processed enough to hide a problem ingredient. The dark chocolate is simply chopped and baked right into the topping, so you stay in full control of what goes in. A drizzle of honey at the end is optional but honestly worth it, pooling into the bubbling plum juices for a glossy, sticky finish. Serve it warm from the baking dish and watch it disappear.
