If you've been tuning into The Little Paris Kitchen on BBC Two lately, you'll know what Rachel Khoo is all about.
The perfect end to any meal, this rich chocolate fondant has been created by Jean Christoph Novelli for Divine Chocolate (www.divinechocolate.com), in celebration of chocolate week which runs from 12th-18th October 2009.
5 x eggs, plus 5 extra yolks
125g caster sugar
250g unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing moulds
250g Divine 70% Dark Chocolate
50g plain flour
6 x small pudding moulds
In a bowl beat together the eggs, yolks and sugar until pale. Then melt the chocolate and butter gently in a bowl set over a pan of hot water. Once melted, remove from the heat and slowly add to the egg mixture, beating until smooth. Now carefully fold in the flour and then pour into pre-buttered moulds before it begins to firm up. Allow the mixture to chill preferably overnight. Finally to cook, place into a pre-heated oven at 180˚c for 10-15 minutes. By which time the centre should dome up and feel dry. Turn out the fondants from their moulds and serve with either vanilla ice cream or crème fraiche.
