Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x9 inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing the sides to overhang for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, cocoa powder, erythritol, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure there are no lumps.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond milk, and vanilla extract until well combined. Add the melted butter and stir until just mixed.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until a smooth batter forms.
Spread the batter evenly in the prepared baking pan and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan.
For the cream cheese filling, beat together the cream cheese and powdered erythritol until smooth. Gradually add the heavy cream, beating until combined.
Once the cake is cool, carefully lift it from the pan using the parchment overhang. Using a sharp knife, cut the cake into 1-inch squares.
Cut each square in half horizontally and spread a small amount of cream cheese filling in between the layers. Gently sandwich the halves back together.
To make the glaze, melt the sugar-free dark chocolate chips with the coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 20-second intervals and stirring in between until smooth.
Dip the tops of the filled petit fours into the melted chocolate glaze, letting any excess drip off before placing them on a tray lined with parchment paper.
Refrigerate the petit fours for about 30 minutes or until the chocolate glaze is set. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
