Break up the chocolate, melt it over steam or in the microwave in 30-second bursts, and cool until lukewarm.
Stir in the egg yolks, yoghurt and instant coffee until smooth.
Whisk the egg whites with the pinch of salt to stiff peaks, gradually adding the sweetener.
Fold one-third of the whites into the chocolate mixture to loosen it, then gently fold in the rest in two batches.
Divide among glasses, cover with film, and chill for at least 3 hours.
Before serving, dust with cocoa and decorate with fresh raspberries. Keeps for 2 days in the fridge.
