Ingredients

• 200 grams Dark chocolate
• 200 grams Unsalted butter
• 100 grams All-purpose flour
• 200 grams Caster sugar
• 4 large Eggs
• 4 large Egg yolks
• 0 Butter (for greasing)
• 0 Cocoa powder (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F).

Step 2

Begin by greasing six ramekins generously with butter to prevent sticking.

Step 3

Dust the inside of each ramekin with cocoa powder, shaking out the excess.

Step 4

In a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, gently melt the dark chocolate and butter together. Stir occasionally until smooth and glossy. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 5

In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the caster sugar, eggs, and egg yolks using an electric mixer until the mixture is pale and thick, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 6

Gently fold the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the egg mixture using a spatula.

Step 7

Sift the all-purpose flour into the mixture and fold gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 8

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling each about three-quarters full.

Step 9

Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are cooked but the center remains soft and slightly jiggly.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let the fondants rest for 1 minute before loosening the edges with a butter knife.

Step 11

Carefully turn each fondant onto a plate and gently lift the ramekin. Serve immediately, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dusting of icing sugar.
