Chocolate fondant

Aug 13th 2025

Simple, with short ingredient list that I memorized on the second time I made this, it gives everything I would expect from a good chocolate fondant. Intense chocolate flavor, baked outside, chocolate lava on the inside. Pairs excellently with vanilla ice cream.

Preparations

Step 1

Start by melting chocolate (in cubes) with butter.

Tip: keep it on low heat and wait only until everything is melted and combined. This keep the temperature low and allow you to mix with other ingredients quicker.

Step 2

Mix yolks, eggs with sugar.

Step 3

Add flour and mix until all flour stripes are gone.

Step 4

After letting butter and chocolate mix cool down a bit, mix it with other ingredients.

Step 5

Pour the mixture into 4 ramekins.

Step 6

Bake at 200°C. The time depends on whether you cook it fresh or straight from freezer. I watch the rameskins until the surface solidifies and a bump appears and then give it 2 more minutes to slightly set inside as well. Usually takes 10-14 minutes.
