Fondant Au Chocolat

Have you ever tried a Fondant Au Chocolat in a nice restaurant or coffee shop with a scoop of ice cream? The hot chocolate melting in your mouth, contrasting the cold of the ice cream and wished you can eat it any time you want at home? I did. I love the texture of this creamy chocolate and cannot stop myself from eating it even after a heavy dinner. I’ve tried so many recipes to find the perfect one that can satisfy my craving, until a few years back, I found a nice one in an old french magazine and I’ve tried it and I said “that’s the one I am looking for”!! It was perfectly delicious. My children also love it. I made it again today to share this lovely recipe with you. By the way you should be very careful about the cooking time, if you leave it one minute extra in the oven, you will not have the melting chocolate oozing out from inside the cake.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup of flour minus 1 tablespoon
• 2 eggs+2 egg yolks
• 1 cup of icing sugar minus 1 tablespoon
• 100 grams butter
• 100 black chocolate
• pinch of salt

Preparation:

• Preheat the oven to 210C
• In a saucepanPlace the chocolate with the butter and the pinch of salt and let it melt on water bath for 5 minutes stirring continuously
• In a bowl whisk the eggs with egg yolks until pale yellow
• Add the flour to the eggs and mix well
• Add the icing sugar now
• Pour the mixture of chocolate-butter over the eggs and flour
• Grease 6 small molds ( the cup cake ones will be perfect) and divide the mixture into them
• Bake in the oven for 9 minutes,( you now it is done when the top of the cake is  not soft anymore
• Eat while it is still warm. Or you can reheat them on the microwave for few seconds only

ET VOILA..C’EST TOUT. BON APPETIT!
