Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and generously butter six ramekins. Dust each ramekin with cocoa powder to prevent sticking.
In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate and butter together over a pan of simmering water (bain-marie). Stir occasionally until smooth, then remove from the heat and let it cool slightly.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs, and egg yolks until pale and thick. This will take about 3-4 minutes using an electric whisk.
Gently fold the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the egg and sugar mixture, ensuring it is thoroughly combined.
Sift the gluten-free flour into the chocolate mixture, folding gently with a spatula to combine. Mix until just incorporated; avoid over-mixing.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared ramekins and place them on a baking tray.
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-10 minutes. The fondants should be firm on the outside and slightly wobbly in the middle.
Remove from the oven and let them sit for 1 minute. Carefully invert each ramekin onto a serving plate and remove the ramekin gently.
Serve immediately, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dusting of powdered sugar on top.
