Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Spread the almonds on a baking tray and toast them in the oven for about 8-10 minutes until golden brown. Allow them to cool slightly, then chop coarsely.
In a small saucepan, heat the coconut cream over low heat until warm but not boiling.
Break the dark chocolate into small pieces and add them to a heatproof bowl. Pour the warm coconut cream over the chocolate and let it sit for a minute to melt.
Stir the chocolate and coconut cream together until you have a smooth and creamy mixture.
Add the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt to the chocolate mixture, and stir until well combined.
Fold in the toasted chopped almonds into the chocolate mixture.
Divide the mixture evenly among four dessert cups or ramekins.
Refrigerate the desserts for at least two hours, allowing them to set and firm up.
Before serving, dust the tops with cocoa powder and garnish with a few chopped almonds.
