Chocolate Fondant Recipe

Fondant Preparation

1. 1

   Melt Chocolate and Butter

   Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). In a heatproof bowl, combine dark chocolate and unsalted butter. Melt them together over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method) or in the microwave in short bursts, stirring until smooth.

2. 2

   Whisk Eggs and Sugar

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

3. 3

   Combine Mixtures

   Pour the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the egg mixture. Add vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Stir until well combined.

4. 4

   Add Flour

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

5. 5

   Prepare Ramekins

   Grease four ramekins with butter and dust with cocoa powder or flour. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared ramekins.

6. 6

   Bake

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

7. 7

   Serve

   Remove from the oven and let cool for a minute. Invert each ramekin onto a plate and serve immediately with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
