  1. In a double boiler, melt the chocolate and coconut cream together until smooth. In a separate saucepan, heat the almond milk and agar agar powder until the agar is fully dissolved. Combine the melted chocolate mixture with the almond milk mixture, whisking well to combine. Pour the mixture into individual serving dishes and refrigerate until set, about 4 hours or overnight. For the raspberry coulis, blend fresh or frozen raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a blender until smooth. Strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds.
