Indulge guilt-free with this Sugar-Free Chocolate Fondant Cake, a decadent dessert that’s as rich in flavor as it is in texture. Crafted with sugar-free dark chocolate and naturally sweetened with granulated erythritol, this cake offers a healthier twist on the classic molten-center treat. Almond flour gives the cake a slightly nutty undertone while keeping it gluten-free, making it perfect for those with dietary restrictions. With a quick 15 minutes of prep and just 12 minutes in the oven, this elegant dessert is surprisingly easy to make. Serve it warm for a luscious, gooey center that oozes chocolate decadence, or let it cool for a firmer texture that still melts in your mouth. Ideal for intimate gatherings or date nights, this chocolate fondant cake brings refined sweetness without the sugar!
Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F) and grease or line four individual ramekins with parchment paper.
In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate and unsalted butter together over a simmering pot of water. Stir occasionally until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
Remove the bowl from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes. Then, whisk in the granulated erythritol until well incorporated.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure a smooth batter.
Stir in the vanilla extract and salt, mixing to combine thoroughly.
Fold in the almond flour gently, ensuring there are no lumps and the batter is smooth.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling each one about 2/3 full.
Place the ramekins on a baking tray and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set but the center remains slightly jiggly.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a couple of minutes before loosening the edges with a knife and turning out onto serving plates.
Serve immediately for a warm, molten center or let cool for a firmer texture. Enjoy your sugar-free chocolate fondant cake!
