Turkey Free Dark Chocolate & Almond Baked Plums

Warm, jammy plums straight from the oven with a crackly dark chocolate and almond topping — this dessert feels far more indulgent than the ingredient list suggests. The plums soften beautifully as they bake, their natural tartness deepening into something almost wine-like, while the crumble of chopped almonds, almond flour, and 70% dark chocolate turns golden and slightly crisp at the edges. A touch of cinnamon on the fruit and ground ginger in the topping give the whole thing a gentle warmth that makes it feel like a special occasion even on a weeknight. Everything here is naturally free from poultry in any form — no hidden broths, no meat-based fats, just honest pantry staples doing exactly what they should. The coconut oil and maple syrup bind the crumble without any animal-derived additions, so the dessert stays clean and unfussy from start to finish. A drizzle of honey at the end is optional but genuinely worth it, pooling into the bubbling plum juices for a glossy, sticky finish. Serve it straight from the baking dish while it's still warm and let everyone dig in.
