Foolproof Chocolate Fondants


One of my favourite, rich recipes of all time, this mouth watering chocolate sauce-filled sponge dessert awesome. Make sure you use good quality chocolate. 
Makes 4. 

Ingredients

100g Dark Cooking Chocolate
120g Caster Sugar 
!00g Plain Flour, Sifted
100g Unsalted Butter
2 Eggs
2 Egg Yolks 
2tsp Tia Maria Liqueur (optional) 
Some Cocoa Powder
Strawberries and Ice Cream (To Serve)

Method
1. Grease 4 ramekins and dust with cocoa powder, spreading evenly and letting the excess fall into the next one. Heat the oven to 160C/140C fan. 

2. Melt the butter and the chocolate over a bain-marie, and leave to cool slightly

3. Whisk the eggs, yolks and the sugar until pale and thick, and then add the chocolate mixture. Fold in the flour and liqueur, and distribute between the 4 ramekins.

4. Bake for 12 minutes, or until the tops of all of them don't look glossy. Leave for 3 minutes. 

5. Carefully go around the outside of each fondant with a small palette knife - if you muck this up, it won't turn out properly. Carefully turn onto plates, and serve immediately. 

Enjoy :)
