1
Preheat the oven
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and prepare six ramekins by greasing them with butter and dusting them with flour.
2
Melt chocolate and butter
In a heatproof bowl, combine the dark chocolate and unsalted butter. Melt them together over a double boiler or in the microwave, stirring until smooth.
3
Mix sugar and eggs
In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar and eggs until the mixture becomes pale and frothy.
4
Combine mixtures
Gradually add the melted chocolate mixture to the egg-sugar mixture, stirring continuously. Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
5
Fold in flour
Sift the all-purpose flour into the chocolate mixture and fold gently until just combined.
6
Fill ramekins
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared ramekins, filling them about 3/4 full.
7
Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still soft.
8
Serve
Let the fondants cool for 1 minute, then invert them onto plates. Serve immediately with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
