Ingredients
- 100 grams Unsalted butter
- 100 grams Dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
- 40 grams All-purpose flour
- 20 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 2 pieces Egg yolks
- 80 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
Step 2
Butter four individual ramekins with a little of the unsalted butter and lightly dust with cocoa powder to prevent sticking.
Step 3
In a heatproof bowl, melt the remaining unsalted butter and dark chocolate together over simmering water, ensuring the bowl does not touch the water.
Step 4
Once the chocolate and butter are melted and smooth, remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, egg yolks, and granulated sugar together until pale and slightly thickened.
Step 6
Fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture until well combined.
Step 7
Sift the flour and unsweetened cocoa powder into the chocolate mixture and gently fold until there are no lumps.
Step 8
Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 9
Divide the mixture evenly among the prepared ramekins.
Step 10
Place the ramekins on a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes, until the edges are set and the center is soft.
Step 11
Remove from the oven and let them sit for 1 minute before serving.
Step 12
Run a knife around the edge of each fondant to loosen, then turn out onto dessert plates and serve immediately, perhaps with low-sodium vanilla ice cream or fresh berries.
