1. Break the chocolate into small chunks and tip into a bowl with the coffee and alcohol. Bring 250ml of the cream to the boil, then pour over the chocolate mixture and stir until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is smooth. Divide the mix between 6 coffee cups and leave to set overnight in the fridge.
2. To serve, whip the remaining cream with the sugar until just set. Spoon the cream onto the chocolate pots and serve dusted with cocoa powder so each cup looks like a cappuccino.

  Loved this but will make in espresso cups next time as it is very rich and no-one was able to finish portion

  Unfortunately I could not get it too set - however I achieved this by putting in a bain marie and all turned out well. Very rich though!

  Halfed recipe but it still made 8 espresso cups. I also left out the sugar, it just didn't need the extra sweetness as I used amaretto.

  If I make it again I will probably half the portions and serve with some fruit to balance out the intense richness of this pudding. I couldn't finish my portion.

  Made this for Christmas Day. Large portions, but my family are greedy so it wasn't a problem. Found them very boozy though. My nephews were flying round the room on a high of chocolate, coffee and booze!

  no problem with portion size at all, served in a selection of china cups and saucers looked fab! didn't let the chocolate melt properly so was a bit grainy, perhaps not sweet enough??

  Forgive this novice but what is meant by 100g of strong coffee? I thought that liquids were measured in fluid ozs or parts of a litre.
