Chocolate Fondant Recipe

Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Ramekins

   Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F). Grease four ramekins with butter and dust them with cocoa powder or flour.

2. 2

   Melt Chocolate and Butter

   In a heatproof bowl, combine dark chocolate and unsalted butter. Melt them together over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method) or in the microwave in short bursts, stirring until smooth.

3. 3

   Mix the Batter

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until pale and fluffy. Gradually fold in the melted chocolate mixture, then gently incorporate the flour until just combined.

4. 4

   Fill and Bake

   Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins. Place them on a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still soft.

5. 5

   Serve

   Remove from the oven and let them cool for 1 minute. Carefully invert each ramekin onto a plate and serve immediately with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
