My French Dietitian's black chocolate fondant

INGREDIENTS

  • 250g black 71% cocoa chocolate

  • 250g butter

  • 250g whole eggs

  • 130g granulated sugar

  • 87g cornstarch

  • A bit of liquid vanilla or cognac (optional)



PREPARATION

  1. Preheat the oven to 160°C.

  2. Butter six ramekins for individual fondants or one large dish.

  3. Gently melt the butter and keep it warm over low heat.

  4. Combine the sugar and cornstarch in a bowl using a mixer or whisk. Add the eggs and mix well without overworking the batter.

  5. Pour the chocolate into the butter and whisk thoroughly to melt it. Then, incorporate the chocolate mixture into the egg mixture until smooth.

  6. If desired, add a bit of liquid vanilla or cognac to the batter and stir to combine. This tip is optional, but it can be helpful if you are sensitive to the smell of eggs. Liquid vanilla is a natural flavoring that can help to balance out the richness of the chocolate and make the fondants more flavorful. It can also help to mask any unwanted eggy smells.

To add vanilla to the batter, simply stir a few drops of liquid vanilla extract into the mixture. You can adjust the amount of vanilla to taste.



BAKING


7. Pour the batter into the prepared ramekins or dish.

8. Bake the individual fondants for 12 to 15 minutes or the large fondant for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.

9. Let the fondants cool for a few minutes before inverting them onto serving plates.
