Chocolate Fondant

Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Molds

    Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F). Grease four ramekins with butter and dust with flour.

  2. 2

    Melt Chocolate and Butter

    In a heatproof bowl, combine the dark chocolate and unsalted butter. Melt them together over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method) or in the microwave. Stir until smooth and let cool slightly.

  3. 3

    Mix the Batter

    In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until combined. Gradually add the melted chocolate mixture to the egg mixture, stirring continuously. Fold in the flour until just combined.

  4. 4

    Bake the Fondants

    Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins. Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-14 minutes, until the edges are firm but the center is soft.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool for 1 minute. Carefully invert each fondant onto a plate. Serve immediately with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side.
