Chocolate fondant

Last night we made a delicious treat. It was so good that I ate two of them.


Chocolate fondant

125g butter
150g 70% cocoa dark chocolate
2 eggs
2 egg yolks
125g castor sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
55g self raising flour


Grease 4x150ml capacity oven proof ramikins with butter and arrange on a baking tray.
Melt butter and chocolate in a heatproof bowl place over a saucepan of simmering water, stirring occasionally. Allow to cool slightly.
Place eggs, yolks, sugar and vanilla in a bowl and whisk until thick and pale. Fold in flour until combined. Gently fold in chocolate mixture, pour batter into moulds, filling each ¾ full. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until risen. Puddings will be set but wobble in the centre. Allow to cool for 5 minutes, run a pallet knife around the edge of each pudding to loosen and invert onto serving plates. Serve with cream and some raspberries.
