Method

Melt the chocolate in a saucepan over a gentle heat, or in the top half of a double boiler. Pour it into a bowl and mix in the butter, pastry cream, egg yolks and coffee. Whisk vigorously with a balloon whisk for 20 minutes.

When the mixture is smooth and light, spoon it into little oiled individual moulds or soufflé dishes and chill. Unmould just before serving.
