1
Prepare the Oven and Molds
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F). Grease and flour 4 ramekins.
2
Melt Chocolate and Butter
In a heatproof bowl, combine the dark chocolate and unsalted butter. Melt them together over a pot of simmering water, stirring until smooth, or microwave in short intervals.
3
Mix Sugar and Eggs
In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and eggs until pale and thick.
4
Combine Mixtures
Fold the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the egg and sugar mixture. Add vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
5
Add Flour
Sift in the all-purpose flour and gently fold until just combined.
6
Fill Ramekins
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling them about 2/3 full.
7
Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes. The edges should be firm, but the center should be soft.
8
Cool and Serve
Let the fondants cool for 1 minute. Invert onto plates and serve immediately, optionally with ice cream or whipped cream.
