Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Grease six ramekins with a little coconut oil and dust them lightly with cocoa powder. Set aside.
In a small saucepan, melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil over low heat, stirring continuously until smooth. Remove from the heat and stir in the coconut cream and vanilla extract. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and coconut sugar together until pale and thick, about 3 minutes.
Gently fold the chocolate mixture into the egg mixture using a spatula until just combined.
Sift together the almond flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold these dry ingredients into the chocolate-egg mixture until you have a smooth batter.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared ramekins.
Place the ramekins on a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes. The cakes should have set edges but be slightly soft in the center.
Remove from the oven and let them cool for 1-2 minutes before running a knife around the edges and turning them out onto serving plates.
Serve immediately with your choice of dairy-free ice cream or a fresh fruit coulis.
