This recipe will work best if you an make earlier and if a hot day place in fridge for a couple of hours or if cold leave on bench.
PRE HEAT oven to 160 degrees fan. THEY MUST GO INTO A PRE HEATED OVEN!
Cook for 7 – 10 minutes ( depending on your oven). They will soufflé up. YOU need to serve them immediately with either greek yoghurt or double cream and berries. They are super rich and chocolatey but not sweet. They are quite bitter. If you can’t deal with bitter chocolate you can add a tablespoon of PURE maple syrup to your chocolate/coconut oil/butter mix.
