We consider a baryogenesis scenario, where the difference of baryon (B) and lepton (L) number is conserved in such a way that the B-L asymmetry in the standard model sector is compensated by an asymmetry of opposite sign stored in the dark energy sector. Therefore, we introduce a toy-model in which a complex quintessence field carries a B-L asymmetry at late times. We determine the produced baryon asymmetry in the visible sector for a large range of initial conditions and find it easy to achieve a value of the observed order of magnitude. While the size of the produced baryon asymmetry depends on details of the underlying inflationary model, it turns out to be independent of the reheating temperature in many cases. We also discuss possible sources of instability like the formation of Q-Balls.
