Chocolate fondant

Step 1

Lightly butter 6 ramekins.

Step 2

Fill a larger saucepan half full with water, then place a small saucepan with the chocolate inside into the pan with water. Heat gently on the stove top. When the chocolate melts, add butter then remove from the heat and mix well together.

Step 3

Whisk together the eggs and sugar. Once the mixture is pale, creamy and fluffy, fold into the chocolate. Add the flour, cocoa and baking powder and continue to fold until nice and even.

Step 4

Divide the mixture between the 6 ramekins and chill for around an hour. About 45 mins into their chilling time, preheat the oven to 210ºC.

Step 5

Cook for 6-8 mins until the tops resemble biscuits and are just beginning to crack.

Step 6

Serve warm in the ramekins. Delicious with strawberries and fresh lightly whipped double cream.
