Preparation

Lightly grease 4 coffee cups (1-cup each). In a small bowl, mix the instant coffee and milk, stirring to dissolve.

Sift in the flour and cocoa powder, then fold in the milk mixture. Spoon evenly into the cups.
Arrange the cups in a steamer basket. Cover each with a circle of parchment paper. Place over a saucepan of simmering water, cover tightly with a lid and steam 20-25 mins, until cooked. Cool 5 mins.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, beat the cream and vanilla to form firm peaks. Spoon onto the puddings and dust with hot cocoa mix, to serve.
