Chocolate Fondant

Chocolate Fondants

  1. Prepare your moulds. Brush each mould with melted butter and place in the freezer for a few minutes. Then brush with butter again and dust with cocoa powder.
  2. Gently melt your butter and chocolate together in a bowl over a pan of barely simmering water. Remove from  heat and stir until smooth and leave for 10 minutes to cool slightly.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and egg yolks together with the sugar until thick and pale and your whisk leaves a trail. Sift the flour into the eggs and fold together.
  4. Pour the melted chocolate into the egg mixture in thirds, beating well after each addition until all added and you have a loose batter.
  5. Tip this batter into a jug and pour evenly into your moulds. You should have enough for 7 so you always have a spare in case one does not come out well. These can now be frozen for up to 1 month.
  6. To cook from frozen, heat oven to 200C/180 Fan/Gas 6. Cook fondants for 15-17 minutes, until the tops have formed a crust. Let them rest for 1 minutes when they come out of the oven.
  7. Loosen the fondants very gently from the sides and turn out onto plates and top with ice cream. Serve.

  1. Dear Anneli,
    Wish you and your family a very happy new year. And many happy clients for Delicieux as well. Thank you so much for the recipe of the chocolate fondants. I once tried the recipe of Nigella Lawson and it was a disaster. I did exactly what was written, but no way to get them cooked enough to get out of the moulds.
    Hopte to see you again at Cauboue,

  2. Hi Gerda,
    Happy New Year to you also. Glad to hear this recipe will be helpful for you. I especially like that it is made in advance and cooked from frozen. Good luck with it and let me know how it goes for you! See you soon
