Blend sifted cocoa powder with water until smooth; stir in chocolate, butter, sugar, ground almonds, and egg yolks.
Beat egg whites in small bowl until soft peaks form, then fold into chocolate mixture.

Make chocolate whipped cream by blending heavy cream on high and adding sugar.  Once cream starts to come up add melted chocolate and continue whipping.  Cover and set aside in fridge.
