Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams Unsalted butter
- 100 grams Dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
- 40 grams All-purpose flour
- 20 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 2 pieces Egg yolks
- 80 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
Butter four individual ramekins with a little of the unsalted butter and lightly dust with cocoa powder to prevent sticking.
In a heatproof bowl, melt the remaining unsalted butter and dark chocolate together over simmering water, ensuring the bowl does not touch the water.
Once the chocolate and butter are melted and smooth, remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, egg yolks, and granulated sugar together until pale and slightly thickened.
Fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture until well combined.
Sift the flour and unsweetened cocoa powder into the chocolate mixture and gently fold until there are no lumps.
Stir in the vanilla extract.
Divide the mixture evenly among the prepared ramekins.
Place the ramekins on a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes, until the edges are set and the center is soft.
Remove from the oven and let them sit for 1 minute before serving.
Run a knife around the edge of each fondant to loosen, then turn out onto dessert plates and serve immediately, perhaps with low-sodium vanilla ice cream or fresh berries.
