Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa solids)
- 100 grams plain low-fat yogurt
- 20 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 50 grams all-purpose flour
- 3 large egg whites
- 50 grams caster sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and grease four ramekins with a bit of cooking spray or a very light coating of butter.
Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and melt it gently in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, stirring occasionally. Alternatively, use a microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring in between.
Once melted, remove the chocolate from heat and let it cool slightly. Mix in the low-fat yogurt until smooth and combined.
In a large bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, and baking powder. Add the salt to the dry ingredients and mix well.
In another clean mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites with an electric mixer on medium speed until they start to foam, then gradually add the sugar. Continue to whisk until soft peaks form.
Fold the chocolate-yogurt mixture into the dry ingredients gently, then fold in the whisked egg whites carefully to maintain the airy texture.
Stir in the vanilla extract to the batter, ensuring it's well distributed.
Divide the mixture evenly between the prepared ramekins.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the fondants have risen and the tops have just started to crack, with the centers still retaining some wobble.
Allow the fondants to cool for 1-2 minutes before carefully sliding a knife around the edges and turning them out onto serving plates. Serve immediately for that perfect oozy center.
