Chocolate Fondant Heaven
Photo by Beki Bernstein
This is a serious chocolate fondant for adults only. I love Phil Vickery’s ‘Seriously Good! Gluten Free Baking’ book. This is definitely mummy’s favourite.
Ingredients
Makes 6
- vegetable oil, for oiling
- 350g dark chocolate
- 50g butter, softened
- 75g caster sugar
- 170g condensed milk
- 4 large eggs, beaten at room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 75g self-raising flour ( I like Doves GF Flour)
- sieved icing sugar, to decorate
Method
Prep 20 minutes · Cook 12 - 15 minutes
- Place a large baking tray in the oven and preheat it to 200°C/gas mark 6. Oil six individual pudding basins and cut circles of baking parchment to line the bases.
- Melt the chocolate, in a heatproof bowl, over a pan of simmering water - don't let the bowl touch the water - and set aside.
- Cream the butter and the sugar together, in a large bowl, using a hand held electric mixer, until light and fluffy.
- Slowly whisk in the condensed milk. Gradually beat in the eggs and the vanilla.
- Stir in the melted chocolate and finally add the flour, mixing until smooth.
- Divide the chocolate mixture evenly between the pudding basins.
- Place the moulds on the hot baking tray in the oven and cook for 12 - 15 minutes until puffed and risen.
- Remove from the oven and run a knife around the edge of the puddings to un-mould onto a serving plate.
- Dust with icing sugar and serve straight away.
