Though the statement ‘Worlds’ BEST’ may sound like a bit of hype to some of my sweet tooth readers, I can only say that out of ALL the chocolate recipes I have tried over the past 2 decades around the world, THIS ONE is simply my all time favorite. Factoring the simplicity of preparation, the speed to whip it up and the compliments given each and everytime by those lucky enough to try it, make it MY best Chocolate Fondant in the world !

I’ll leave it up to you to try for yourselves,  I’ll look forward to your comments on this!

Preparation: 8 mns

Baking Time: 18 to 22 mns (160 C – 320F)

Yield : 6 to 8 servings

Ingredients :

• 4 Eggs (whole)
• 150 g (5.3 oz) white/castor Sugar
• 80 g  (2.8 oz) Flour
• 60 g (2 oz) Almond Powder
• 200 g (7 oz) Dark Cooking Chocolate
• 200g (7 oz) Unsalted Butter

Procedure :

1. Pre-heat your oven and set at it 160 C – 320F.
2. Break the chocolate into chunks, place it into a glass bowl, along with the  cubed butter, and microwave it on low heat until both chocolate and butter have entirely melted. Mix the chocolate and butter together with a spatula, and keep it aside.
3. In a bowl, mix in your eggs and sugar, using a whisk, until you obtain a smooth, running texture.
4. Add in the flour and almond powder, mix well ensuring all ingredients are thoroughly blended together.
5. Slowly incorporate the chocolate/butter mixture into the egg mixture and mix in together with a wisk ensuring all ingredients are thoroughly blended together.
6. Butter up a baking tray with a pastry brush and add flour to it afterwards to create a protective unstick coating. Remove all excess flour.
7. Pour in your chocolate-butter mixture/egg mixture into the baking tray.
8. Place the whole thing in the pre-heated oven for 18 to 22 mns, and bake at 160C-320F

You’ll know YOUR ‘World’s BEST’ Chocolate Fondant (hopefully!) is cooked when you insert a knife in its center, and it comes out clean, without anything sticking to it. Bare in mind the Fondant will firm itself up after it cools off.

I suggest serving with a home made custard or vanilla ice cream for maximum pleasure ! Guaranteed success !
