Sweet Chocolate Fondants (Lava Cakes)

You won't believe how easy these chocolate fondants (quite sweet chocolate lava cakes) are to make...and how delicious!
Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time13 minutes
Additional Time10 minutes
Total Time33 minutes
Course: Desserts
Servings: 6

Ingredients

  • 4 ounces of dark chocolate chips
  • 1 stick of butter
  • 1 cup of powdered sugar you could increase this slightly, it could stand to be a little sweeter
  • 3 whole eggs
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 6 tablespoons of flour
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 F. Spray 4 custard cups or ramekins liberally with non-stick spray and place on a baking sheet. Note, I used two small ramekins and one larger one, but I wouldn’t recommend that because the batter in the larger ramekin had trouble reaching the right consistency inside and out.
  • Melt the butter and chocolate in a large, microwavable bowl for 1 minute and 20 seconds. Whisk together till completely melted.
  • Add powdered sugar and a teaspoon of vanilla, and whisk until combined.
  • Add eggs and the one egg yolk with a pinch of salt, and combine this as well.
  • Finally, whisk in the flour.
  • Pour the mixture evenly into the sprayed cups or ramekins. Bake for 13-15 minutes, until the sides are firm and center is soft.
  • Once cooled, invert onto a plate (if it’ll let you), and serve (with ice cream, if that’s how you roll).

Notes

  • Personally I like these on the undercooked side
