Paraben Free Dark Chocolate & Almond Baked Plums

Warm, jammy plums straight from the oven with a crumbly dark chocolate and almond topping — this dessert feels indulgent but comes together with a short list of clean, whole-food ingredients. The plums soften and release their juices as they bake, creating a naturally sweet, almost syrupy base that pairs beautifully with the toasty crunch of the almond crumble. Coconut oil and maple syrup do the heavy lifting in the topping, binding the chopped almonds, almond flour, and dark chocolate into a rough, golden crust that bubbles and crisps at the edges. Parabens are commonly found as preservatives in packaged sweets and processed chocolate products, so building a dessert from scratch with minimal, recognizable ingredients is a smart way to sidestep that concern entirely. Every component here — from the cinnamon-dusted fruit to the 70% cacao chocolate — is straightforward and easy to source without hidden additives. A final drizzle of honey adds a glossy, floral finish that makes the whole dish look far more impressive than the effort involved. Serve it warm from the baking dish and watch it disappear.
