Hazelnut Free Dark Chocolate & Almond Baked Plums

Warm, jammy plums straight from the oven with a crackly dark chocolate and almond crumble on top — this dessert feels far more indulgent than the ingredient list suggests. The plums soften beautifully as they bake, releasing their juices into the dish while the topping of chopped almonds, almond flour, and roughly chopped 70% dark chocolate turns golden and slightly crisp. A touch of cinnamon on the fruit and ground ginger in the crumble give the whole thing a gentle warmth that makes it feel almost festive. For anyone navigating tree nut concerns specifically around hazelnuts, this recipe leans entirely on almonds — no hazelnut paste, no praline, no ambiguous "mixed nut" shortcuts that so often sneak into chocolate-forward desserts. The maple syrup and optional honey drizzle add just enough sweetness to let the dark chocolate stay bold and slightly bitter, which is exactly what baked stone fruit needs. It comes together in one baking dish with minimal prep, and serving it warm with the bubbling juices pooled around the plums is genuinely hard to beat.
