Ingredients:
- 80 grams butter
- 90 grams dark chocolate
- 40 grams sugar
- 50 grams flour
- 2 eggs
Instructions:
- Begin by melting the chocolate and butter. You can do this in the microwave in short bursts, stirring in between, or using a double boiler on the stove.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and sugar with a mixer for about 5 minutes until you achieve a light and fluffy foam.
- Gently fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg foam. Then sift in the flour and stir until just combined, ensuring not to overmix.
- Prepare your 9×5 cm ceramic molds by greasing them with butter and dusting with cocoa powder to prevent sticking.
- Pour the batter into the molds, filling them just below the rim.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (356°F) for about 15 minutes. Adjust the baking time slightly if your molds are smaller or larger.
- Carefully remove from the oven and let sit for a minute before serving to avoid collapsing.
Enjoy your scrumptious Chocolate Fondue with a scoop of your favorite ice cream, and perhaps a sprinkle of cocoa or powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness. Bon appétit!
