Ingredients

• 100 grams Almonds
• 200 grams Dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa, dairy-free)
• 200 ml Coconut cream
• 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 pinch Sea salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Spread the almonds on a baking tray and toast them in the oven for about 8-10 minutes until golden brown. Allow them to cool slightly, then chop coarsely.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, heat the coconut cream over low heat until warm but not boiling.

Step 3

Break the dark chocolate into small pieces and add them to a heatproof bowl. Pour the warm coconut cream over the chocolate and let it sit for a minute to melt.

Step 4

Stir the chocolate and coconut cream together until you have a smooth and creamy mixture.

Step 5

Add the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt to the chocolate mixture, and stir until well combined.

Step 6

Fold in the toasted chopped almonds into the chocolate mixture.

Step 7

Divide the mixture evenly among four dessert cups or ramekins.

Step 8

Refrigerate the desserts for at least two hours, allowing them to set and firm up.

Step 9

Before serving, dust the tops with cocoa powder and garnish with a few chopped almonds.
