Method
- Preheat oven to 150°C (300°F, gas mark 2). Place the double cream in a saucepan and heat gently. Roast the coffee beans in a frying pan for 2 mins to draw out the flavour, then add to the cream.
- When the cream is hot, but not boiling, remove from the heat, add the instant coffee granules and chocolate and stir until dissolved.
- Combine the egg yolks, sugar and a pinch of salt and then gradually whisk in the warm coffee cream. Strain, discard the beans and divide among the six ramekins or espresso cups.
- Put them into a roasting tin and pour in boiling water, just enough to cover them halfway up. Cover with foil and cook for 35 mins. The chocolate should be just set, with a slight wobble in the middle. Remove from the water bath and chill in the fridge for a few hours. Spoon on crème fraîche or cream and top with a chocolate coffee bean and serve.
