4. Tip the egg and sugar mixture into a large mixing bowl. Stir in the warm chocolate mix and the espresso. Carefully fold in the sifted flour and baking soda, using a large metal spoon.

5. Cover with cling film and leave in the fridge, overnight or for at least a couple of hours.

6. Preheat the oven to 180°C/gas 4. Line a baking sheet with baking parchment.

7. Divide the mixture into walnut-sized balls, then roll them in sifted icing sugar (they work just as well if you leave the icing sugar out). Mix can be frozen at this stage and then used as necessary.
