Fondant classic

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 25 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   Let's start preparing the French dessert with the most important thing - the choice of chocolate. Dark chocolate must be of high quality, the cocoa content of which should not be less than 72% to 90%.

2. STEP 2

   

   We break the chocolate into small pieces and put them in a container in which we will melt it later. We also turn a piece of butter into small pieces by cutting it with a knife. Add to the chocolate pieces and send the container with the contents to melt the ingredients in a steam bath, stirring them constantly and bringing them to a homogeneous mass.

3. STEP 3

   

   Beat eggs into a separate container and add powdered sugar. Using a mixer, beat the eggs with powder until white foam forms.

4. STEP 4

   

   Sift the flour through a sieve into the egg-sugar mixture, add cocoa powder (just like chocolate should be of excellent quality), baking powder and a little salt. Using a mixer, beat all the ingredients again.

5. STEP 5

   

   Pour the whipped mixture into the chocolate-butter mixture and mix well with a wooden spoon until the mixture becomes homogeneous.

6. STEP 6

   

   Preheat the oven to 200°C. Now let's prepare the forms in which the fondants will be baked. To do this, take ramekins and grease them with oil. Then sprinkle them with cocoa powder and fill the molds 2/3 with chocolate mixture. You can also use silage molds, this will make it easier to remove the cupcakes from the mold. Place the ramekins with chocolate mixture in a preheated oven for 5.5 minutes. When baking, never open the oven!

7. STEP 7

   

   We take the fondants out of the oven and immediately serve them to the table, removing them from the ceramic mold or leaving them in ramekins, it depends on which serving you like best or on your mood. The French dessert is served with a scoop of ice cream.
