Ingredients
Scale
- 12 oz (340g) semi-sweet chocolate bars, chopped
- 5 (250g) eggs, large
- ½ cup (130g) smooth almond butter
- 1 cup (230ml) canned coconut milk (full-fat)
- 1 cup (230g) pumpkin puree
- ⅓ cup (110g) pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon espresso powder (optional)
- cocoa powder for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat the oven according to the original recipe’s specified baking temperature. Prepare a suitable baking pan with parchment paper if needed.
- Chop the semi-sweet chocolate bars into small pieces. Melt gently in a heatproof bowl using a microwave in short intervals or a double boiler, stirring until smooth. Allow to cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond butter, coconut milk, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, vanilla extract, salt, and optional espresso powder until smooth.
- Add the slightly cooled melted chocolate to the pumpkin mixture. Stir until the batter is evenly combined and has a uniform chocolate color.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the surface with a spatula.
- Bake according to the original recipe’s specified temperature and baking time, until the edges are set and the center is softly set but not liquid.
- Remove from the oven and allow the torte to cool completely in the pan.
- Carefully remove the cooled torte from the pan. Dust with cocoa powder before serving and slice with a sharp knife.
Notes
- Use plain pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.
- Stir the canned full-fat coconut milk well before measuring.
- Allow the torte to cool completely before slicing for the best fudgy texture.
- The original supplied recipe did not include baking temperature, baking time, or pan size; confirm these details before publishing.
