1 tsp cocoa powder
125ml milk
60g dark chocolate (70% cocoa), finely chopped

Method
-
Put a pizza stone on bottom shelf of oven and preheat to 170°C. Grease four ¾-cup capacity ramekins then add ½ Tbsp of the caster sugar to each ramekin, swirling until generously coated in sugar. Discard excess sugar.
-
Put egg yolks, cornflour and cocoa in a bowl. Whisk by hand until smooth.
-
Put milk and 30g of the extra caster sugar in a small saucepan over a medium heat. Bring to the boil then pour onto yolk mixture, whisking until smooth. Return to pan, set over a medium heat and bring to a simmer, stirring, until thickened. Remove from heat.
-
Whisk in chocolate, vanilla and coconut essence until smooth. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
-
Put egg whites, cream of tartar and 50g of the remaining extra caster sugar in a large bowl and whisk, using an electric hand mixer, until soft peaks form. Gradually add the remaining sugar, beating until medium peaks form.
-
Fold ¹⁄³ of the mixture through cooled chocolate mixture then fold in the remaining until combined.
-
Spoon mixture into prepared ramekins. Bake on pizza stone for 8 minutes or until risen.
-
Meanwhile, put coconut cream and icing sugar in a small bowl. Mix.
-
Dust soufflés with icing sugar and serve immediately with coconut flakes and coconut cream mixture on the side.
