How to Make Sublime Hot Chocolate Fondant

  1. Preheat oven to 160°C (320°F).
  2. Grease 7, 5cm diameter ramekins with butter and dust generously with cocoa powder.
  3. In a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water (double boiler), melt 100g of dark chocolate and 50g of butter, stirring until smooth and glossy. Remove from heat and let cool for 10 minutes.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 large egg yolk, and 75g of granulated sugar until pale and thick (about 5 minutes using an electric mixer).
  5. Gently fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture until just combined.
  6. Sift in 50g of all-purpose flour and gently fold into the batter until no streaks remain.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is still slightly soft.
  9. Let the fondants cool for 2-3 minutes before carefully inverting them onto warmed plates.
  10. Serve immediately and enjoy the molten chocolate center!
