I was lucky enough to be bought some Paul A Young chocolate by my Dad last week. It's rated as some of the best chocolate in the country so I wanted to do something pretty special with it. Really there was only one thing that I wanted; an ooey gooey chocolate fondant.
Ingredients:
50g chocolate (dark is best but I used milk here to make it almost like a sticky toffee pudding sauce)
50g unsalted butter, plus extra to grease
50g plain flour
1 egg
1 egg yolk
60g caster sugar
2tbsp cocoa powder
- Preheat the oven to gas mark 4, 160c. Butter two ramekins and then dust lightly with cocoa powder.
- Melt the chocolate and butter in a glass bowl over the top of a saucepan, make sure the bowl doesn't touch the water. Put aside the bowl to cool.
- In a stand mixer whisk together the egg, egg yolk and sugar.
- Mix in the cooled chocolate mixture and then sift the flour on top. Slowly fold in using a figure of 8 motion.
- Pour the mixture into the two ramekins and bake for around 15-17 minutes. You want there to be some cracks on top but not overcooked.
