My fondant of the day... dark chocolate, banana, pecans and raisins! :) Fondant au chocolat (chocolate melt in mouth) Recipe for 6 people (right... LOL) Preparation: 10 minutes Baking time: 20 to 30 minutes (depending on baking pan or mold, your oven... and how gooey you want it to be) Difficulty: Easy! Ingredients: • 200 g (7.1 oz) of dark chocolate (around 70 percent is good) • 100 g (3.5) of cane sugar • 50 g (1.8 oz) of flour (I use organic flour) • 100 g (3.5) of butter (I use organic butter) + a little more for the mold / baking pan • 3 eggs (I use cage free, brown eggs) • optional: a few table spoons of rum for added taste, or / and vanilla extract What to do: 1. Pre heat your oven to Th. 7 (200 degrees C, or 350 degrees F) 2. In a pan, melt the chocolate and butter. If you have a rice cooker or similar, you can use it with great results too, just don't use the cover. 3. In a mixing bowl, put the sugar, eggs, flour (and rum, vanilla extract if you want). Mix thoroughly with a whip. 4. Add the melted chocolate + melted butter to the bowl, mix all together with the whip. 5. Optional: using a spatula, mix in nuts, raisins, a banana... whichever you think would be good. Experiment, once you are comfortable with the regular recipe! :) 6. Butter your pan / silicon mold. 7. Pour batter in pan / mold. 8. Place in hot oven. 9. Set timer to 20 minutes, to check the fondant. It should be crusty on the outside, but still gooey in the middle. It will harden some when cooling off. 10. If need be, cook a few minutes more. Don't forget to use the timer! Check again, ... 11. When satisfied with how cooked it is, take it out of the oven and let it cool off. (you can eat it warm - it will be very gooey then, or cold) 12. Remove from mold. 13. EAT! :) Previously: "Golden Night over Reds" href>
