Description

Rich chocolate fondants from Lindt elevate romantic dessert moments with intense cocoa depth. Small porcelain ramekins cradle these molten chocolate delights, promising silky indulgence you cannot resist.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 oz (60g) Lindt dark chocolate (70% cocoa preferred), chopped
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tbsps (30g) unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsps (25g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp (15g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt
  • cocoa powder or powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preparation: Preheat oven to 400F (200C). Generously butter two small ramekins and dust with cocoa powder, ensuring an even, non-stick coating by tapping out excess powder.
  2. Chocolate Melting: Using a double boiler or microwave, melt Lindt chocolate and butter together, stirring until achieving a smooth, glossy consistency. Allow mixture to cool slightly.
  3. Egg Mixture: Whisk egg, sugar, and vanilla extract vigorously until the blend becomes pale and frothy. Gently fold melted chocolate into the egg mixture, stirring until completely incorporated.
  4. Batter Formation: Delicately fold flour and salt into the chocolate mixture, creating a silky, uniform batter without overmixing. Carefully divide batter between prepared ramekins placed on a baking tray.
  5. Baking Process: Position ramekins in preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes. Look for firm edges with a soft, slightly jiggly center as indication of perfect doneness.
  6. Plating: Allow fondants to rest for one minute after removing from oven. Carefully loosen edges with a knife and invert onto serving plates. Garnish with a light dusting of powdered sugar or cocoa powder.
  7. Serving: Present immediately, optionally accompanied by vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an indulgent finishing touch.

Notes

  • Chocolate Precision: Finely chop high-quality Lindt chocolate for smooth, even melting to prevent grainy texture.
  • Batter Technique: Avoid overmixing when folding flour – gentle strokes maintain the delicate, light consistency crucial for perfect fondant texture.
  • Temperature Control: Remove fondants exactly at 10-12 minutes – even 30 seconds extra can transform molten center into fully cooked cake, losing signature runny core.
  • Serving Strategy: Serve immediately after inverting onto plates to preserve the warm, liquid chocolate center – waiting causes rapid cooling and solidification of the decadent interior.
