Chocolate Fondant
- 4 tbsp (60 ml) unsalted butter, plus extra to grease
- 2 tsp (10 ml) unsweetened cocoa powder, to dust
- 2 oz (50 g) good-quality dark, bittersweet chocolate (minimum 70% cocoa solids), in pieces
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1/3 cup (75 ml) superfine sugar
- 2 tbsp (30 ml) Tia Maria liqueur
- 1/3 cup (75 ml) all-purpose flour, sifted
- creme fraiche or vanilla ice cream, to serve
- Heat the oven to 325u0b0F (160u0b0C). Butter 4 ramekins (3 inches/7.5 cm in diameter) and dust liberally with cocoa powder. Melt the chocolate and butter in a small bowl set over a pan of hot water, then take off the heat and stir until smooth.
- Using an electric whisk, beat the whole egg, egg yolk, and sugar together until pale and thick, then incorporate the chocolate mixture. Fold in the liqueur, followed by the flour.
- Divide the chocolate mixture among the ramekins and bake for 12 minutes. Turn the chocolate fondants out onto warm plates and serve immediately with a dollop of creme fraiche or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
