Chocolate fondant is a sophisticated combination of a delicate biscuit and a liquid chocolate center that can surprise even the most demanding guests.
Despite its elegant appearance, this dessert is quite easy to prepare, and its taste creates a real holiday atmosphere.
Ingredients for 4 servings
Dark chocolate (70%) – 100 g
Butter – 100 g
Sugar – 50 g
Eggs – 2 pcs.
Yolks – 2 pcs.
Flour – 50 g
A pinch of salt
Preparation steps
1. Prepare the ingredients
Melt the dark chocolate and butter in a water bath or in the microwave. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.
2. Beat eggs with sugar
In a deep bowl, beat the eggs, yolks and sugar until a light, fluffy mass is formed.
3. Add the chocolate mixture
Carefully fold the melted chocolate and butter into the beaten eggs, stirring constantly.
4. Add dry ingredients
Sift the flour with a pinch of salt and gradually add to the chocolate mass. Mix until smooth.
5. Prepare the molds
Grease them with butter and sprinkle with cocoa powder so that the fondant is easy to remove after baking.
6. Bake
Pour the batter into the molds, filling them to ¾. Bake in an oven preheated to 200°C for 8-10 minutes. The edges should be dense, and the center should remain liquid.
Innings
Chocolate fondant is served immediately after baking. For even more sophistication, sprinkle the dessert with powdered sugar or add a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Berries, mint or caramel sauce will also be a perfect addition.
Tips for the perfect result
Control the baking time. If the fondant is kept in the oven for too long, its liquid core will thicken.
Use quality chocolate. The final result will depend on its taste.
The dough can be prepared in advance. Just leave it in the fridge and bake before serving.
Chocolate fondant is not only a dessert, but also a spectacular end to a festive dinner. Its rich taste and attractive texture will conquer the hearts of your guests, creating an unforgettable atmosphere of warmth and coziness.
