Method

Fondant Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).

  2. 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. Allow it to cool slightly.

  3. 3

    Mix Sugar, Eggs, and Vanilla

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

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Gradually pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, stirring constantly to avoid cooking the eggs.

  5. 5

    Add Dry Ingredients

    Sift in the all-purpose flour and salt, folding gently until just combined.

  6. 6

    Prepare Ramekins

    Grease four ramekins with butter and dust with flour to prevent sticking.

  7. 7

    Fill Ramekins

    Evenly distribute the fondant batter among the prepared ramekins, filling them about 3/4 full.

  8. 8

    Bake

    Place the ramekins in the preheated oven and bake for about 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are firm but the centers are soft.

  9. 9

    Cool Slightly

    Remove the ramekins from the oven and let them cool for 1-2 minutes before inverting onto plates.

Serving

  1. 10

    Plate the Fondant

    Carefully invert each fondant onto a plate, allowing the molten center to flow slightly.

  2. 11

    Add Ice Cream

    Serve each fondant with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side.

  3. 12
