Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Dark vegan chocolate
- 100 grams Vegan butter
- 60 grams All-purpose flour
- 20 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 100 grams Organic granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
- 9 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 Pinch of salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease four individual ramekins with vegan butter.
Prepare the flaxseed mixture by combining the ground flaxseed and water in a small bowl. Stir well and let it sit for about 10 minutes to thicken, forming a flaxseed 'egg'.
Chop the dark vegan chocolate into small pieces and place it in a heatproof bowl with the vegan butter. Set the bowl over a pot of simmering water, ensuring the base of the bowl doesn't touch the water, to melt them gently. Stir occasionally until smooth and well combined.
In a separate mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and pinch of salt to remove any lumps.
In the melted chocolate mixture, add the flaxseed 'egg', vanilla extract, and sugar. Mix well to incorporate all ingredients evenly.
Fold the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients gently, using a spatula, until fully combined and smooth.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling each about three-quarters full.
Place the ramekins onto a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for approximately 12 minutes, or until the edges are set, but the centers are still soft to touch.
Remove the fondants from the oven and let them sit for a minute before serving warm. Optionally, you can gently turn them out onto plates or serve directly in the ramekins.
Enjoy your rich, gooey Vegan Chocolate Fondant immediately, perhaps with a scoop of vegan ice cream or a sprinkle of powdered sugar on top.
