Chocolate fondant
Simple, with short ingredient list that I memorized on the second time I made this, it gives everything I would expect from a good chocolate fondant. Intense chocolate flavor, baked outside, chocolate lava on the inside. Pairs excellently with vanilla ice cream.
Ingredients
This dessert is essentially chocolate of your choice turned into a cake. Pay extra care to that when buying ingredients.
Preparations
Step 1
Start by melting chocolate (in cubes) with butter.
Tip: keep it on low heat and wait only until everything is melted and combined. This keep the temperature low and allow you to mix with other ingredients quicker.
Step 2
Mix yolks, eggs with sugar.
Step 3
Add flour and mix until all flour stripes are gone.
Step 4
After letting butter and chocolate mix cool down a bit, mix it with other ingredients.
Step 5
Pour the mixture into 4 ramekins.
Step 6
Bake at 200°C. The time depends on whether you cook it fresh or straight from freezer. I watch the rameskins until the surface solidifies and a bump appears and then give it 2 more minutes to slightly set inside as well. Usually takes 10-14 minutes.
