Just in time for the weekend, ready to impress your guests or just your tummy! Because you deserve it, you made it through January and February! 🙂 How manic have these first two months been? With all that’s happening in the world and the jam-packed kick start to the year, we need a moment. This Chocolate Fondant recipe is quick and easy and oh-so-lusciously-delicious!
If you do whip them up, please do send or tag me in the pics and let me know what you think?
Ingredients:
- 125g butter (have some extra for greasing)
- 1 Tblsp cocoa powder (have some extra for dusting)
- 125g good quality chocolate, roughly chopped
- 60g caster sugar (Natura Sugars golden caster sugar is great!)
- 3 eggs
- 3 egg yolks
- 100g flour, sifted
Method:
- Preheat the oven to 180C. Prepare your ramekins (or ovenprood moulds if you want to pop them out when plating) by greasing them with the extra butter and lightly dust them with the additional cocoa powder.
- Melt the butter and chocolate in a bain marie or create your own bain marie by placing them in a heatproof bowl over a pan of gently simmering water (make sure the base does not touch the simmering water).
- Using an electric whisk, beat the sugar, eggs and egg yolks until they’re pale and fluffy.
- Pour the melted butter/chocolate mixture over the egg mix and gently fold in the sifted flour and cocoa, using a metal spoon.
- Place the ramekins/moulds on a baking tray. Fill the prepared ramekins with the batter and bake in the preheated oven for roughly 8 minutes.
- Once removed from the oven, they are ready to devour! The centre should be soft with a silky chocolate sauce. Serve with a scoop of your favourite ice cream, whipped cream or creme fraiche and a dusting of cocoa powder. Yum!
