Ingredients:
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing
– 8 ounces good quality dark chocolate, chopped
– 4 large eggs
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
– Pinch of salt
– Optional: cocoa powder for dusting
– Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, to serve
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and generously butter four ramekins or small oven-safe dishes. Set aside.
2. In a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of gently simmering water, melt the butter and dark chocolate together, stirring occasionally until smooth and combined. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until well combined and slightly pale in color.
4. Gradually pour the cooled chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, stirring constantly until fully incorporated.
5. Sift in the flour and salt, folding them into the chocolate mixture gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Divide the chocolate batter evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling them about three-quarters full.
7. Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still soft.
8. Carefully remove the ramekins from the oven using oven mitts and let them rest for a minute before running a knife around the edges to loosen the fondants.
9. Place a plate over each ramekin and flip them quickly to release the fondants onto the plates. Dust with cocoa powder if desired.
10. Serve the fondants warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream on the side.
