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 greasing the sides lightly.
  2. In a large, heatproof bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate bars using a bain marie or microwave, then set aside to cool slightly.
  3. Whisk the eggs in a large mixing bowl until frothy, then add the almond butter, coconut milk, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt, mixing until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the cooled melted chocolate into the wet mixture, stirring gently until the batter is smooth.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan and bake for 30 to 40 minutes until the top is set and jiggly in the center.
  6. Cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes, then chill in the refrigerator for several hours or ideally overnight.
  7. Dust the top with cocoa powder just before serving, then slice and enjoy!
