Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F) and lightly grease six ramekins with coconut oil.
In a heatproof bowl, melt the dairy-free dark chocolate and coconut oil together over a pot of simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Stir until smooth, then remove from heat.
In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole eggs, egg yolks, and granulated sugar until the mixture is pale and slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the vanilla extract and melted chocolate mixture, mixing until fully incorporated.
Sift the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt into the bowl, carefully folding them into the chocolate mixture with a spatula until no lumps remain.
Evenly divide the batter among the prepared ramekins, filling each about three-quarters full.
Place the ramekins on a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are firm but the centers remain soft.
Remove from the oven and let the fondants rest for 1 minute before carefully inverting them onto serving plates.
Serve immediately while the centers are still molten, optionally dusted with extra cocoa powder or accompanied by fresh berries.
