HOW TO DO IT

1. Beat the egg yolks and caster sugar together in a large heatproof bowl until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.

2. Pour the double cream and milk into a saucepan and add the ground coffee. Bring to the boil and then stir it into the egg and sugar mixture.

3. Sit the bowl over a pan of gently simmering water and stir until the custard becomes thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon. Pour into individual espresso cups, dust with cocoa powder and serve immediately!
