Chocolate fondant recipe
Here is the Chocolate fondant recipe that I made last night for our special dinner. It was rather rich but good for a special occasion. I however made a way to bigger serving, small ramekins would work well.
Chocolate Fondant
280g best-quality dark chocolate
200g unsalted butter plus a little extra for greasing the moulds
8 whole eggs
230g sugar
160g flour
Preheat the oven to 180?C. Break the chocolate into small pieces, then place in a bowl with the butter. Sit the bowl over a saucepan of barely simmering water, ensuring the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Leave the chocolate and butter to melt, then beat the eggs, sugar and flour until combined.Remove the bowl of chocolate from the heat and whisk in the egg mixture until it is shiny and glossy. Grease 4 ramekins or ovenproof cups with a smear of butter, then pour in the mixture and bake for 8-12 minutes. The top of the fondants will still look wet when they are removed from the oven, but this is okay. Let them cool slightly, then run the tip of a sharp knife around the edge of the dish and carefully invert them onto individual serving plates.
IM so going to ahve to give this ago…anythign with chocolate has got to be good. A question does it need to be cooking chocolate or just any dark chocolate is fine? What sort did you use?
