Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Dark chocolate (nut-free)
- 200 grams Unsalted butter
- 4 large Eggs
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 60 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
- 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
Grease 6 small ramekins with butter and dust them lightly with cocoa powder to prevent sticking.
In a medium saucepan, melt the chocolate and butter over low heat, stirring consistently until smooth. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together with an electric mixer on high speed until the mixture becomes pale and thick, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the melted chocolate mixture to the beaten eggs and sugar, stirring gently with a spatula until well combined.
Sift the flour and salt over the chocolate mixture and fold it in gently until there are no lumps.
Stir in the vanilla extract until everything is well combined.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared ramekins, filling each about three-quarters full.
Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are still soft.
Remove from the oven and allow the fondants to sit for 1 minute before carefully turning them out onto serving plates.
Serve immediately for the best molten lava effect, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, ensuring all ingredients used are nut-free.
