2011 Cooking Club Week 16: Simple Chocolate Fondants

Jesus Wept

Do they reheat?

Mr Magnolia

They wouldn't reheat very well as a fondant but the mixture could be stored in the fridge for a couple of days or in the freezer for a lot longer.

Made these over the weekend and they were absolutely delicious. Even the uncooked mix is delicious. We have two left which will be going into the oven later on.

2 ramekins for €4.50, is that alright or should we expect to pay a bit less? Pyrex versions.

I bought some in Home Stores + More for cheap enough, can't remember the exact price but it certainly didn't break the bank.

I have ~15 of the at home, the M&S dine for two offer often has deserts which come in small ramekins. They might be slightly too small if you want a big dessert, but they're perfect for condiments and other stuff.:)

I bought these a couple of weeks ago, 4 for €1.99 and they're brilliant.

I've made this loads of times now but I've only this scaldy image from my first attempt:



Definitely one of my fav cooking club recipes now though. It delivers so much for the effort and you can prepare it so far in advance too.

Long time listener first time caller!!

first attempt at a cooking club recipe and it was a big success - we halved the recipe and it just about filled 4 ramekins

Added a healthy dollop of ice cream on top to finish - Delish - thanks OP

im planning on making these for desert christmas day,made a test run tonight but didnt leave them in long enough they were way too gooey and heavy especially after dinner,ill make another trial run before the big day and maybe put slightly less mixture into the ramekins, but all in we both still loved them looking forward to the next batch

ive made these a few times, delicious, great recipe :pac:

OP thank you, great recipe. I used the 72% choc from Lidl but it nearly killed us after a big meal, the choc content was way too much. Would be great if anyone could recommend a good quality lower cocoa choc please. Mind you my son had two of them the following day lol and he had no problem eating them and didn't find them filling at all, so maybe we were just too full! Again thanks, a really easy and great recipe:D

These were great. Tried them last night. My attempt at getting one of them out of the ramekins lead to a bit of a crash:



So I gave up and served them in the ramekins. And luckily I had made an extra one, which was devoured:



Now all I need is to pick up an electric whisk, took bloody ages to hand whisk them!

Thanks OP.

Made these a few weeks ago, had no ramekins (student house!) so I used little cups - the handles were actually pretty useful for turning them upside down without getting burnt. They were unreal OP, thanks so much!

i made these yesterday using lindt orange intense dark chocolate
so, orange chocolate fondants
very delicious, big hit, and i have been instructed to make more

Had these last night. 190 in a fan oven for 11 minutes - turned out absolutely spot on. Deliciously rich - and perhaps surprisingly unsweet. Easy to make too - although my poor arm was ready to fall off after all that whisking! Really need to get a mixer! And two more ready for tonight (half volumes of posted recipe)........
