Chocolate Fondant Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°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, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

  3. 3

    Mix Sugar and Eggs

    In a separate bowl, whisk the granulated sugar and eggs together until pale and frothy.

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and stir gently to combine. Be careful not to deflate the mixture.

  5. 5

    Add Flour

    Sift the all-purpose flour into the chocolate-egg mixture and fold gently until just combined.

  6. 6

    Pour into Ramekins

    Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins.

  7. 7

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are firm but the center is still soft.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Let the fondants cool for a minute, then invert them onto plates. Serve immediately with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
