Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
- 200 grams Unsalted butter
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 4 pieces Egg yolks
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 120 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Cocoa powder (for dusting)
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter (for greasing molds)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Grease six individual ramekins or metal pudding molds generously with unsalted butter, then dust with cocoa powder to ensure the fondants don’t stick.
Place the dark chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl. Using a double boiler, melt them together over simmering water, stirring occasionally, until smooth. Alternatively, you can microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring each time.
In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, egg yolks, and granulated sugar together until pale and frothy (this should take about 3-4 minutes with an electric mixer or 5-6 minutes by hand).
Gradually pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, stirring gently to combine.
Sift the all-purpose flour into the bowl and fold it into the mixture carefully to maintain the batter's airiness.
Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared ramekins, filling each about three-quarters full.
Place the ramekins on a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes. The tops should be set, but the centers should feel soft to the touch.
Remove the ramekins from the oven and allow them to rest for one minute. Carefully run a knife around the edges to loosen the fondants, then invert them onto serving plates.
Serve immediately, perhaps with a dusting of powdered sugar, a dollop of whipped cream, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
