No pics for these - I had guests and couldn't really intrude with my camera. There must be hundreds of different recipes for this kind of chocolate dessert, firm on the outside with a molten, oozing centre. I saw an episode of Masterchef last week where they said that 'the route to the final is scattered with failed chocolate fondants'. I think one of the keys to this recipe is to resist the urge to open the oven to check on them. Once the top starts to crack the centre should still be liquid.
This recipe comes from Nigella's 'How to Eat', I'm not a fan of her books that go with the TV series but this one is a gem. I've bought a few copies as presents as I think it's a great introduction to cooking.
125g dark chocolate
125g unsalted butter
3 egg yolks
150g caster sugar
35g plain flour

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm chocolate fondant!!!!
Chocolate fondant makes me very happy :-)
And I'm with you on Nigella's books - I much prefer her earlier un-tv related writing.
Hand me a spoon! I love orange and chocolate. I'm glad the ice cream worked well with it.
absolute rubbish.
Flour sugar and eggs will not "whisk" so when hot choc is added the egg just cooks. The most disgusting mess I have ever made
bill I'm sorry it didn't work out for you. I've made this a couple of times and I use my Kenwood Chef to whisk the egg + flour + sugar all together.
