Ingredients
  

For the Torte
  • 8 oz Semi-sweet chocolate bars or dark chocolate for less sweetness
  • 4 Eggs essential for structure
  • 1 cup Smooth almond butter can substitute with cashew or sunflower seed butter
  • 1 can Canned coconut milk use full-fat for best results
  • 1 cup Pumpkin puree fresh pumpkin can be used if well pureed
  • 1/2 cup Pure maple syrup honey can be used as alternative
  • 1 tsp Pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp Salt essential for taste
  • 1 tsp Espresso powder optional
For Dusting
  • 2 tbsp Cocoa powder for dusting before serving

Equipment

  • 9-inch springform pan
  • double boiler or microwave
  • mixing bowls
  • spatula
  • whisk
  • wire rack

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350℉ (177℃) and prepare a 9-inch springform pan by lining the bottom with parchment paper and lightly greasing the sides.
  2. Melt the semi-sweet chocolate using a double boiler or microwave, heating in 30-second intervals until smooth. Allow to cool slightly.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs until lightly frothy. Gradually add almond butter, coconut milk, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, vanilla extract, salt, and espresso powder, mixing until smooth.
  4. Pour the melted chocolate into the egg mixture and stir until the batter is uniform and silky. Ensure no chocolate chunks remain.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 30-40 minutes until the top is set with a slight jiggle in the center.
  6. Allow the torte to cool on a wire rack, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to enhance flavors and firm up.
  7. Before serving, dust with cocoa powder and carefully remove the sides of the springform pan. Slice and serve, optionally with whipped coconut cream.

Notes

Make sure the chocolate is fully melted to avoid chunks and remember that the batter will appear very wet; this is normal for the torte's texture.
