Ingredients:
- 105g dark chocolate (72.5% cocoa)
- 20g milk chocolate
- 150g semi-salted butter
- 2 eggs + 1 egg yolk
- 120g sugar
- 25g cornstarch
- 2g grated Tonka bean
Instructions:
- Melt the butter and chocolates together, either in a double boiler for the adventurous, or gently in the microwave for the pragmatic. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, egg yolk, and sugar until the mixture triples in volume, a critical step for achieving the perfect texture.
- Sift in the cornstarch and add the grated Tonka bean, folding gently to incorporate without deflating the mixture.
- Gradually blend in the chocolate and butter mixture until smooth and homogenous.
- Pour the batter into a 16cm springform pan that has been buttered and floured or lined with parchment paper. A regular 16cm pan, buttered and lightly floured, works as well if you're not planning to unmold the fondant.
- Chill the batter in the refrigerator for 3 hours before baking to ensure the fondant sets properly.
- Bake at 125°C for 40 minutes. The center should still wobble slightly when removed from the oven.
- Allow the fondant to cool completely at room temperature, away from moisture, ideally overnight, before serving.
Indulge in the rich and velvety smoothness of our Supreme Chocolate Fondant, a dessert that promises to deliver pure chocolate bliss. Enjoy!
