1. In a medium saucepan, combine the Fufu flour and water. Cook over medium heat while stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Once the mixture thickens and starts to form a dough, remove from heat and let it cool for 5 minutes.
2. Knead the cooled dough until smooth, then shape into small balls.
3. In another saucepan, combine plant based milk, sugar, salt, vanilla extract, nutmeg, cinnamon, and cornstarch. Whisk well to dissolve the cornstarch. Heat on medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens.
4. Slowly add unsweetened coconut milk to the saucepan while continuously whisking. Cook for another 2 minutes.
5. Remove from heat and gently fold in vegan chocolate chips. Mix well.
6. Arrange Fufu dough balls on serving plates, then spoon the chocolate sauce over and around them.
7. Garnish with chopped almonds and serve immediately.
