Who doesn’t love a melt-in-the-middle chocolate fondant pudding? These remind me of my childhood, indulging at an early age set me up for a sweet tooth for life!
These chocolate fondants are a little bit of luxury, perfect for a quarantine date night in. I know many of us are limited to our outings at the moment. In these testing times, it’s still nice to be able to make our evenings feel special with our loved ones at home. This recipe is simple, yet dazzles and delights with its molten gold centre. It is easy to prepare ahead of time and bake or reheat when ready to serve.

Serves 4
Gold Chocolate Truffles
Make these ahead of time
INGREDIENTS
50ml double cream
55g Callebaut Gold Caramel Chocolate METHOD
Place the cream in a small saucepan, heat until it just begins to boil.
Pour the hot cream over the chocolate, whisk until the chocolate is completely melted and you have a thick glossy texture.
Refrigerate to allow it to set for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Make the truffles for the fondant filling by taking 2 teaspoons of the ganache mixture and rolling into a ball in your hands.Begin by separating the eggs into two large bowls.
Chocolate Fondants
INGREDIENTS
110g unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing moulds
2 eggs
80g caster sugar
60g plain flour
TO DECORATE
METHOD
Preheat your oven to 200C.
Grease 4 deep ramekins/dariole moulds with butter, and dust with cocoa powder, tapping out any excess.
Place a pan of water on the hob and bring to a gentle simmer. Combine the milk chocolate, dark chocolate and butter in a bowl and place on the pan of water, ensuring the base of the bowl isn’t touching the water. Allow it to melt together, stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until thickened and pale in colour.
Pour the melted chocolate into the egg mixture, whisk until combined.
Sieve in the flour, and fold in gently using a spatula.
Pour the mixture in the prepared dishes, just to half way.
Place a gold chocolate ganache truffle in the centre of each fondant. Top up with the rest of the chocolate mixture to cover.
Bake in the oven for 12 minutes, and leave it to rest for 1 minute.
To serve, demould into serving bowls, pour over warm chocolate sauce, sprinkle over a few Crispearls, and add a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
TIPS!
These desserts can be made ahead of time! You can either bake, demould and store in the fridge, and microwave for 60 seconds to serve. Or alternatively prepare the mixtures in the moulds, and store in the fridge until ready to bake!
Play around with flavours... try a delicious pistachio ganache filling by simply adding 1 tsp pistachio paste to your boiling cream before pouring over white chocolate. Or add the zest of 1 orange to the fondant mixture to make this a chocolate orange treat!
