Chocolate Fondant with Raspberry Surprise

151111 raspberry chocolate fondant-9361

The traditional Chocolate Fondant with a twist. In the middle of the chocolate, I place a fresh raspberry. A sweet and fruity surprise. The correct texture of the fondant is dependant on ingredients, (size of ramekins if you use something different) and oven heat. Since the heat of the oven may vary from oven to oven, you may want to make one extra fondant and test before baking those you will serve your guests. Also, I always use my kitchen scale for this recipe.

Serves 4

120 g dark chocolate (at least 70%)
115 g butter
3 eggs (190 g)
125 g sugar
50 g gluten free flour
Butter for the ramekins (or any other small mold you want to use)
Raspberries (1-2 per serving)
Raspberries to serve on the side
Whipped cream to serve on the side

  1. Oven at 200C
  2. Melt the butter in a bain-marie (a bowl set on top of boiling water on your stove)
  3. Mix the sugar and eggs, add the flour and stir well.
  4. Butter the ramekins well.
  5. Fill each ramekin to 1/4th and add the 1-2 raspberries. Fill with more chocolate mix, up to 3/4th of the ramekin.
  6. Place in heated oven 7 minutes. The crust should have formed on top before taking it out. Let stand for 5 minutes before turning onto plate.
  7. Serve with some more berries (and whipped cream) on the side.
