Chocolate Fondant Recipe

Chocolate Fondant Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Oven

   Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F). Grease and flour four ramekins to prevent sticking.

2. 2

   Melt the 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 in short bursts until smooth. Stir occasionally to combine.

3. 3

   Mix the Batter

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, and powdered sugar until pale and fluffy. Add the melted chocolate mixture and vanilla extract. Gently fold in the flour and a pinch of salt until just combined.

4. 4

   Fill Ramekins

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

5. 5

   Bake

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

6. 6

   Serve

   Let the fondants cool for 1 minute, then carefully invert each ramekin onto a plate. Serve immediately, optionally with ice cream or whipped cream.
