1/4 cup caster sugar, plus 1/4 tbsp extra, for dusting

60 gram dark chocolate

1 tablespoon dark cocoa powder, plus extra to dust

1 tablespoon instant coffee

2 eggs, separated

Method

1.Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan-forced). Brush 2 oven-proof cups (or a deep 2-cup ramekin) with extra melted butter. Dust with extra caster sugar. Place on an oven tray.

2.Combine butter and chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Place over a saucepan of gently simmering water, stirring until melted. Mix in sugar, cocoa and coffee, until dissolved. Remove from heat; cool slightly. Whisk in egg yolks and Cointreau.

3.In a medium bowl, using an electric mixer, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Lightly fold through chocolate mixture.

4.Spoon mixture into cups. Level off top with a flat palette knife. Run a finger around inside rim of cups. Bake 15-20 minutes, until risen and just set in centre. Serve souffle with ice-cream. Dust with cocoa, if desired.

You could also make this with milk or white chocolate. Have everything ready up to beating the egg whites.
