Fondant Ingredients

For Serving

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Melt Chocolate and Butter

    In a heatproof bowl, combine the dark chocolate and unsalted butter. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler) and stir until melted and smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Whisk Eggs and Sugar

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

  3. 3

    Combine Mixtures

    Slowly pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture while continuously whisking. Add the vanilla extract and mix until well combined.

  4. 4

    Add Flour

    Sift the all-purpose flour into the chocolate mixture and gently fold it in 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 cocoa powder to prevent sticking.

  6. 6

    Bake Fondants

    Evenly divide the batter among the prepared ramekins. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.

  7. 7

    Cool and Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool for a minute before inverting the ramekins onto plates. Serve immediately with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
