Hot Chocolate Fondant, Clotted Cream & Fresh Strawberries

dscf7025
Ingredients
Method
  1. Brush the inside of four ramekins with the melted butter and then refrigerate (brushing from base to top edge helps fondants to rise).
  2. In a bowl over a pan of boiling water, melt the chocolate and butter. Do not let the bottom of the bowl touch the water as this will burn the chocolate.
  3. In a separate bowl whisk the eggs, egg yolks and sugar until they triple in volume and turn pale.
  4. Fold the egg mixture into the chocolate with a metal slotted spoon.
  5. Take the ramekins from the fridge and gently dust the inside with caster sugar. Spoon in the chocolate mixture and return to the fridge for 1 hour until set.
  6. Pre-heat oven to 180 degC
  7. Place the fondants on a tray in the centre of the oven for 11 minutes until risen. Finally, dust the tops with icing sugar and serve on a plate with clotted cream and sliced strawberries.
