Fondant Ingredients

Method

Fondant Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Grease four ramekins with butter and dust them with cocoa powder.

  2. 2

    Melt Chocolate and Butter

    In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate and unsalted butter together over a pot of simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined. Gradually add the melted chocolate mixture while continuously whisking.

  4. 4

    Add Dry Ingredients

    Sift the all-purpose flour and salt over the chocolate mixture and gently fold until just combined.

  5. 5

    Bake the Fondants

    Pour the batter into the prepared ramekins and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for about 12-14 minutes or until the edges are set but the center is still soft.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Let the fondants cool for a minute before inverting them onto plates. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
