📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat oven to 180°C / 160°C fan / 350°F. Put the coconut oil and maple syrup into a saucepan over medium heat and stir until simmering. Leave to simmer for ⏱️ 2 minutes until it turns amber in colour. Whisk in the flour, then stir in the cherries, almonds, chopped nuts and a pinch of salt. Leave the mixture to cool.

2
Line 2 large baking trays with baking parchment. Once cool, take a teaspoon of the mixture and, using your hands, roll into a ball, flatten and place onto the prepared baking tray. Repeat, arranging the florentines 4–5cm apart as they spread during cooking.
3
Bake for 12–⏱️ 14 minutes until golden. Remove from the oven and leave to cool completely on the baking tray.
4
Once cool, spoon a thin even layer of dark chocolate onto the flat side of the florentines — it's easiest to do this with a butter knife or small palette knife. Once the chocolate has almost set, wiggle a cocktail stick through the chocolate to create a pattern (which is traditional on florentines).
5
Leave the chocolate to set for ⏱️ 2 hours and store in an airtight container.
