Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams dark chocolate
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 large egg
- 2 from large eggs egg whites
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 50 grams all-purpose flour
- 50 ml low-fat milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F).
Lightly spray four 150 ml ramekins with non-stick cooking spray and dust them with cocoa powder to prevent sticking.
Melt the dark chocolate gently in a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler until smooth. Allow it to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg and egg whites until foamy. Gradually add the granulated sugar, whisking continuously until the mixture becomes pale and thick.
Fold the melted chocolate into the egg mixture along with the vanilla extract and low-fat milk, stirring gently to combine.
Sift the flour over the mixture and fold it in gently until you have a smooth batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling each about 3/4 full.
Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 8 minutes. The fondants should be firm on the outside with a soft center.
Remove from the oven and let them sit for 1 minute before running a knife around the edges to loosen them.
Carefully invert the ramekins onto serving plates and serve immediately while the centers are still gooey.
