Directions
1.
In a medium saucepan, combine 3 cups of the cream, chocolate, cocoa powder and coffee granules; cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until chocolate melts and mixture just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature. Whisk until smooth.

In a medium bowl, whisk egg yolks, remaining 1/2 cup cream and sugar substitute together until blended. Gradually whisk 1 cup of chocolate mixture into yolk mixture; add to saucepan with remaining chocolate mixture and whisk to combine.
