Fondant Ingredients

Method

Baking Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F). Grease and flour 4 ramekins.

  2. 2

    Melt Chocolate and Butter

    In a heatproof bowl, combine the dark chocolate and unsalted butter. Melt over a double boiler or in the microwave, stirring until smooth. Allow to cool slightly.

  3. 3

    Mix Eggs and Sugar

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and granulated sugar until pale and frothy.

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture. Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Gently fold in the flour until just combined.

  5. 5

    Fill Ramekins

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

  6. 6

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are set but the center is still soft.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Let cool for a minute, then run a knife around the edges and invert onto plates. Serve immediately, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
