Fondant au chocolat (or Chocolate Fudge?)

FONDANT AU CHOCOLAT


Ingredients (for 10-16 fondant - depending on the size of your muffin cups):
250 gr of dark chocolate (70% of cacao)
175 gr of butter
125 gr of icing sugar
75 gr of flour
5 eggs

Time:
Preparation: 10min
Cooking: 7-8min at 200C

Recipe:
Turn on the oven at 200C.

Prepare the muffin cups - spread a little bit of butter on the inside of the cups. Not much. And a little bit of flour in case you estimate you might have problems to get the fondant out.
I used only a bit of butter on my silicon cups and it was enough.

Put flour, icing sugar and eggs in a bowl. Stir it and then use a mixer or a blender to get a smooth mixture.

Chop the chocolate, cut the butter into smaller pieces and put both in a pan. On medium fire, make it melt. Stir until you get a smooth liquid chocolate.

Slowly add the chocolate to the mixture in the bowl. Stir until you get a unified substance.

With a help of a spoon, fill the cups.

Put the cups in the pre-heated oven and cook the fondant for 7-8min.

The fondant on the left is perfect. The one on the right was way overcooked.



SERVING IDEA: CREAMY GINGER SAUCE

Ingredients:
100 ml of liquid cream
100 ml of coconut milk
10 gr of ginger
orange peel from 1/2 of orange
2 spoons of sugar

Recipe:
Poor the cream and the coconut milk in a pan. Heat it until it boils.

Add ginger, orange peel and sugar. Heat it for few more minutes.

Take it out of the heat so it cools down. Filter and.. it's ready to be served.

Bon appetit :)
