Join me and let's see how to make Chocolate Fondant
Instructions:
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F) and place a baking sheet inside to preheat.
Step 2
Grease the ramekins with butter and dust them with cocoa powder. This ensures the fondants easily release after baking.
Step 3
In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate and unsalted butter together. You can use a microwave or a double boiler for this. Stir until smooth and set aside to cool slightly.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, and granulated sugar until the mixture is pale and slightly thickened.
Step 5
Gently fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture.
Step 6
Sift the all-purpose flour over the chocolate mixture and gently fold it in until no streaks of flour remain.
Step 7
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins.
Step 8
Place the ramekins on the preheated baking sheet and bake for 12-14 minutes. The fondants should have a set exterior but a slightly wobbly center.
Step 9
Carefully remove the ramekins from the oven and let them cool for a minute or two.
Step 10
To serve, run a knife around the edge of each fondant to loosen it, then invert it onto a plate.
Step 11
Serve immediately with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dusting of powdered sugar.
Step 12
Enjoy your homemade European Chocolate Fondant with its irresistible molten center!
