Chocolate fondant with melting filling topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 220 g butter, cut into cubes, plus extra for greasing the pan
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting the pan
- 300 g dark chocolate, coarsely chopped
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- A pinch of table salt
- 6 large eggs
- 2 vanilla popsicles in chocolate glaze
- Powdered sugar, for sprinkling
- Special equipment: 2-liter ramekin
Preparation:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a 2-quart ramekin/soufflé dish. Shake off any excess flour. Place the ramekin on a baking sheet.
- In a large bowl, combine the butter and chocolate. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each microwave, until melted and smooth.
- In a large bowl, combine granulated sugar, salt, and eggs. Beat with an electric mixer on high speed for 1-2 minutes until thick and pale. Add the flour and chocolate mixture to the egg mixture and stir with a silicone spatula until smooth.
- Pour 2.5 cups of batter into a ramekin, place both popsicles in the center, one on top of the other. Pour the remaining batter around the sides and on top of the ice cream.
- Bake for about 45 minutes, until the cake is set but still has a jiggly center. Let the cake cool in the ramekin for 15 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar.
