Making Chocolate Nut Muffins
1. In a large, clean bowl, place the broken chocolate slices, instant coffee and butter.
2. Send the bowl to the steam bath and melt the food. When the butter has melted, remove the bowl from heat. Do not hold it until the chocolate has melted, otherwise the butter will start to boil, making the products hard.

5. Beat eggs with a mixer until they double in volume, acquire a lemon color and form bubbles on the surface.
6. Pour the egg mass into the chocolate mixture.
7. Stir again with a mixer until smooth.

9. Knead the dough until smooth so that there are no lumps. Pierce the walnuts in a dry frying pan. Break in medium pieces and add to the dough.
