Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat and Prepare

    Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F). Grease four ramekins with butter and dust with flour, tapping out the excess.

  2. 2

    Melt Chocolate and Butter

    In a heatproof bowl, combine dark chocolate and unsalted butter. Melt together over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method) until smooth, then remove from heat and let cool slightly.

  3. 3

    Mix Sugar and Eggs

    In a separate bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, eggs, egg yolks, and vanilla extract until well combined and slightly frothy.

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and stir to combine. Gently fold in the all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

  5. 5

    Fill Ramekins

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

  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

    Let the fondants cool for 1 minute, then carefully invert onto plates. Serve immediately with a dusting of powdered sugar or a scoop of ice cream.
