Ingredients:
- 300g butter
- 260g high-quality dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa)
- 150g white sugar
- 65g flour or almond powder
- 65g cornflour
- 480g eggs (8 medium-sized eggs)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease individual rings or soufflé dishes and place them on a baking tray.
- Melt the butter and chocolate together, either in the microwave in short bursts or over a double boiler, until smooth. Set aside to cool.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and add sugar, almond flour, a pinch of salt, and cornflour until well combined.
- Gradually pour the chocolate and butter mixture into the egg mixture, stirring continuously.
- Divide the batter among the rings or dishes, filling them almost to the top. Bake for about 8-10 minutes. The fondant should be firm at the edges but slightly wobbly in the center.
- Remove from the oven and let cool. Once at room temperature, gently release the fondant from the rings using a knife and serve.
