  1. Heat oven to 200C and put a baking tray on the middle shelf.
  2. Brush the inside of 4 small pudding or ‘dariole’ moulds with the melted organic virgin coconut oil. (Grease it in a double layer of oil, then cut out tiny rounds of greaseproof paper a little bit smaller than the base of the mould and fit them to the greased base.) Grease the top of the paper again with more organic virgin coconut oil.
  3. Then put the cocoa in one of the moulds and turn it to coat the inside with a layer of the powder as to line it, holding it over the second mould to catch any that escapes. Repeat with the other moulds.
  4. Put the main volume of organic virgin coconut oil, 1 tbsp cocoa powder and chocolate in a heatproof bowl, set over, but not touching, a pan of simmering water and stir occasionally until melted.
  5. Stir in the coconut flour, and then allow to cool for about 15 minutes.
  6. Using electric beaters, whisk together the whole eggs, yolks, coconut sugar and a pinch of salt until pale and moussey (the mixture should almost double in volume), this will take 3-4 mins.
  7. Gently fold in the melted chocolate mixture, being careful not to knock out too much air.
  8. Spoon into the prepared moulds, stopping about 6mm from the top. Chill for at least 1 hour. (The great news is you can make these the day before you want them.)
  9. Put on a hot baking tray and cook for 15 minutes exactly until the tops are set and coming away from the sides of the moulds and it’s souffled a spot.
  10.  Stand for 30 seconds, then serve in the moulds or turn out onto plates.
