Easy Chocolate Fondant

Ingredients (serves 4)

• 100gm dark chocolate
• 100gm butter
• 2 egg yolks
• 2 whole eggs
• 50 gm caster sugar
• 30 gm plain flour
• Butter for greasing

Method

• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius.
• Grease 4 coffee cups or 1 cup ramekins with butter.
• Melt your chocolate and butter directly on your induction cooktop on low heat.
• In a separate bowl whisk your eggs, yolks and sugar together with an electric mixer or vigorously by hand.
• Pour the chocolate mix into the egg mix and stir well.
• Add the flour and stir until well combined.
• Pour your fondant mix into your greased coffee cups, fill to 1cm from the top to allow for the fondant to rise.
• Place the fondants on a tray and put into the oven to bake for 8 – 10 minutes, ready when small cracks appear on the surface of the fondant. Don’t overcook.
• Remove from the oven and serve.
• To serve, leave in the cup or upturn from the ramekin and dust with icing sugar. Be careful as the cups will be very hot. Serve with ice cream and strawberries.
