Melt chocolate in a bowl over (but not touching) a pan of gently simmering water (or in a microwave) then set aside to cool slightly
Whisk together the whole eggs with the brandy, cointreau or cold coffee before beating in the chocolate
In a clean bowl, whisk the egg whites until soft peaks form, then fold through the chocolate mixture until evenly combined. Spoon into individual glasses ramekins or cappuccino cups and chill for at least 1 hour
To decorate; lightly whip the cream until it just holds its shape, spoon a little onto each dessert and sprinkle with the chocolate hearts
