Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp ground almonds
  • 150 g plain chocolate
  • 3 tsp espresso or strong coffee
  • 2 tsp plain flour
  • 4 medium eggs separated
  • 100 g caster sugar
  • 12 squares white
  • chocolate
  • Icing sugar for dusting

Instructions

  • Preheat oven 180°C.
  • Grease six small ANTA mugs and dust with ground almond.
  • Melt the chocolate with the coffee in a bowl over boiling water.
  • Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly.
  • Stir in the flour, yolks and half the sugar and set aside.
  • Whisk egg whites to a soft peak, then add the sugar and continue whisking until mixture is firm but not stiff.
  • Using a metal spoon gradually stir in about a tablespoon of the egg whites into the chocolate mixture to lighten the mix; it will be easier to fold in the remaining egg whites evenly.
  • Fill the cups to 1.5cm from the top.
  • Press two squares of white chocolate into each cup before baking.
  • Place the mugs into a bainmarie.
  • Half fill an ANTA baking dish with boiling water.
  • Bake for 20 minutes.
  • Serve immediately.
