Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together. You can either do this in the microwave or over the stove top. If you are melting the chocolate in the microwave, make sure to mix it every 15-30 seconds. If you are melting the chocolate on the stove top, set a pot of water on the stove and heat on high until it boils and then lower the heat to medium. Then, put the coconut oil and chocolate into a bowl and place the boil over the boiling water and mix until the chocolate is melted.
  • Mix the melted chocolate and coconut oil together.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and maple syrup until it thickens a bit. Add the melted chocolate to the bowl and whisk until well mixed.
  • Add the salt, vanilla, and almond flour to the chocolate mixture and whisk.
  • Pour half of the mixture into one ramekin and the other half into another.
  • Pit 12 cherries or get 12 frozen cherries out of the freezer.
  • Gently push 6 cherries into the chocolate mixture of each ramekin.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes. The outside should look hard near the edges of the ramekin and a wet or less cooked in the middle. It should puff out and crack a bit.
  • Let cool for 10 minutes.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

  • Instead of coconut oil, you can use olive oil or avocado oil.
  • Instead of maple syrup, you can use honey.
  • Instead of cherries, you can use raspberries or strawberries.
  • You can omit the cherries and just have these be plain chocolate.
