Baking

Bake the Fondants
Place the ramekins in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center remains soft and gooey.

Cool Slightly
Once baked, remove the ramekins from the oven and let them cool for about 1-2 minutes before serving. This allows the fondants to set slightly.
