1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F). Grease four ramekins with butter and dust with flour.
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, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
3
Mix Sugar and Eggs
In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and large eggs until the mixture becomes pale and slightly thickened.
4
Combine Mixtures
Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg and sugar mixture, stirring gently to combine.
5
Add Flour
Sift the all-purpose flour into the mixture and fold it in gently until just combined.
6
Fill Ramekins
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins.
7
Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are firm but the center is still soft.
8
Serve
Let the fondants cool for 1 minute. Carefully invert them onto plates and serve immediately with scoops of vanilla ice cream.
