I tried this too, but instead of the espresso powder or coffee, I used old-fashioned cocoa powder; also used ½ of the sugar substitute the recipe called for. Tried it on DH and rest of (very picky) family and they liked it but said next time it needed to be sweeter and a little more chocolaty, so I think ¾ of the amount of sweetener would be perfect plus a touch more cocoa…

It looked very pretty in the ramekins, so a good one to serve for guests!
