Chocolate Fondant Recipe

Instructions for Preparing Chocolate Fondant

1. 1

   Preheat the Oven

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

2. 2

   Melt Chocolate and Butter

   In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate and unsalted butter together. You can do this over a double boiler or in the microwave. Stir until smooth and let it cool slightly.

3. 3

   Whisk Eggs and Sugar

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is pale and slightly frothy.

4. 4

   Combine Mixtures

   Gradually add the melted chocolate mixture to the egg mixture, stirring constantly to combine.

5. 5

   Add Dry Ingredients

   Sift in the all-purpose flour and add a pinch of salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the chocolate mixture until just combined.

6. 6

   Fill Ramekins

   Pour the batter evenly into the prepared ramekins, filling each about 3/4 full.

7. 7

   Bake

   Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.

8. 8

   Cool and Serve

   Remove from the oven and let cool for a minute before inverting onto plates. Serve warm, optionally with ice cream or whipped cream.
