Recipe of Chocolate Fondant

Ingredients

• 150g dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
• 150g unsalted butter
• 3 eggs
• 3 egg yolks
• 75g granulated sugar
• 40g all-purpose flour
• Butter and cocoa powder for greasing the ramekins

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F) and place a baking sheet inside to preheat.

2. 2

   Grease the ramekins with butter and dust them with cocoa powder. This ensures the fondants easily release after baking.

3. 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.

4. 4

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, and granulated sugar until the mixture is pale and slightly thickened.

5. 5

   Gently fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture.

6. 6

   Sift the all-purpose flour over the chocolate mixture and gently fold it in until no streaks of flour remain.

7. 7

   Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins.

8. 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.

9. 9

   Carefully remove the ramekins from the oven and let them cool for a minute or two.

    To serve, run a knife around the edge of each fondant to loosen it, then invert it onto a plate.

11. 11

    Serve immediately with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dusting of powdered sugar.
