Directions
-
Separate the eggs, placing the whites in a large clean bowl and the yolks in a medium bowl.
-
In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, instant coffee granules, cocoa powder, and 2 tablespoons of water.
-
Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves and the mixture comes to a gentle boil.
-
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and Godiva liqueur.
-
Whisk the egg yolks in the medium bowl and slowly pour the hot coffee-cocoa syrup into the yolks while whisking continuously to temper them.
-
Beat the egg whites in the large bowl until stiff peaks form.
-
In another large chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
-
Gently fold the tempered yolk mixture into the whipped cream until just combined.
-
Carefully fold the whipped egg whites into the cream mixture in two additions, using a spatula to maintain airiness.
-
Divide the mixture evenly among eight 4-ounce soufflé dishes or ramekins.
-
Cover the dishes tightly with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the mixture to prevent ice crystals.
-
Freeze for at least 4 hours or until solid.
-
To serve, let stand at room temperature for 5 minutes, then garnish with shaved chocolate if desired.

Note
Ensure your mixing bowls are completely clean and free of grease for best results when whipping egg whites and cream.
For a non-alcoholic version, substitute the Godiva liqueur with an equal amount of strong brewed coffee or additional vanilla extract.
Store in the freezer for up to 1 month. Allow to thaw slightly before serving to ensure a smooth, creamy texture.
If the mixture seems too stiff, you can add a splash of warm milk to loosen it before freezing.
