Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 g Unsweetened dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
- 100 g Unsalted butter
- 50 g Erythritol sweetener
- 15 g Almond flour
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 large Egg yolk
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F). Grease four ramekins with butter and set aside.
Melt the dark chocolate and butter together in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Stir occasionally until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the erythritol sweetener, eggs, and egg yolk until light and frothy, around 2-3 minutes.
Gently fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture using a spatula.
Add the almond flour, vanilla extract, and salt to the mixture, folding gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Divide the mixture evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling each about three-quarters full.
Place the ramekins on a baking tray and bake for 10-12 minutes. The edges should be set with a slightly jiggly center.
Remove from the oven and let stand for 1 minute before inverting each fondant onto a serving plate.
Serve immediately for that perfect molten lava center experience.
