CHOCOLATE ORANGE FONDANTS
Serves:
6
Preparation time:
45 minutes including time to refrigerate
Cooking time:
15 minutes
Equipment:
6 moulds
Ingredients:
200 g dark chocolate (at least 54%)
200 g unsalted butter
50 g unsalted butter, melted
140 g caster sugar
Method:
1.
Place the moulds on a tray and brush the inside with some of the melted butter using
upward strokes. Refrigerate the moulds for 5 minutes and repeat the above process
with more butter. Put a little cocoa powder into each mould and rotate the moulds
until the buttered coating is evenly covered with the cocoa powder. Tap out any
excess cocoa powder.
2.
Slowly melt the chocolate, butter and orange zest together. Separately whisk the
sugar and eggs together until light and fluffy. Remove the orange zest from the
chocolate mixture. Combine the chocolate mixture with the eggs and sugar.
3.
Sieve the flour, cocoa powder and baking powder. Fold into the chocolate mixture
until well combined.
4.
Divide the mixture between the moulds and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.
5.
Select Roast/Bake mode. Place the wire rack into the bowl in the low position and
heat for 2 minutes. Carefully place the fondants onto the rack and set the time for 12-
13 minutes. Bake until the top starts to crust over and the fondants start to pull away
from the sides of the moulds.
6.
Once cooked leave to stand for 1 minute before serving.
