Pork Free Dark Chocolate & Almond Baked Plums
Warm, jammy plums straight from the oven with a crunchy dark chocolate and almond crumble piled on top ā this dessert feels far more indulgent than it has any right to be. The plums soften and release their sweet-tart juices as they bake, pooling around the edges of the dish in the most inviting way. A mix of chopped raw almonds, almond flour, 70% dark chocolate, maple syrup, and a hint of ginger comes together into a rough crumble that toasts beautifully in the oven and adds real texture to every bite. Coconut oil does the heavy lifting in both the fruit base and the topping, keeping everything rich and cohesive without any dairy. A final drizzle of honey over the warm plums is optional but genuinely worth it. Every ingredient here is naturally free from pork and pork-derived products, so there's no label-scanning required ā just straightforward, wholesome cooking. Serve it straight from the baking dish while everything is still bubbling and fragrant.
