Ingredients
- 100 grams Almonds

- 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.

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.
