Chocolate Fondant Recipe

Preparation Instructions

1. 1

   Melt the Chocolate and Butter

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

2. 2

   Whisk Eggs and Sugar

   In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, and granulated sugar until the mixture is pale and fluffy, about 5 minutes.

3. 3

   Combine Mixtures

   Gradually pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture while whisking continuously. Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt, and mix until well combined.

4. 4

   Add Flour

   Sift in the all-purpose flour and gently fold it into the batter until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

5. 5

   Prepare Ramekins

   Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Grease four ramekins with butter and dust with flour to prevent sticking.

6. 6

   Fill Ramekins

   Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling them about 3/4 full.

7. 7

   Bake

   Place the ramekins on a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.

8. 8

   Serve

   Remove from the oven and let cool for a minute. Invert each ramekin onto a plate and serve immediately, optionally with ice cream or whipped cream.
