Ingredients
- 100 grams dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
- 60 grams unsalted butter
- 50 grams vanilla whey protein powder
- 30 grams ground almonds
- 10 grams cocoa powder
- 2 large eggs
- 2 large egg yolks
- 50 grams caster sugar
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
- 1 as needed non-stick spray or butter for greasing
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Lightly grease 4 small ramekins with non-stick spray or butter.
Step 2
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate and butter in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each until smooth. Be careful not to overheat.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, and caster sugar until pale and fluffy.
Step 4
Gradually fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture until well combined.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, combine vanilla whey protein powder, ground almonds, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt.
Step 6
Gently fold the dry ingredients into the chocolate mixture until just combined. Do not overmix to maintain a light texture.
Step 7
Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared ramekins, filling each about three-quarters full.
Step 8
Place the ramekins on a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes. The edges should be firm while the center remains soft.
Step 9
Once baked, let the fondants cool for a minute before gently running a knife around the edges to loosen them.
Step 10
Turn each fondant out onto a plate and serve immediately, preferably with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a scoop of low-fat ice cream on the side.
