Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make chocolate fondant? Prepare and measure food. Take only good quality chocolate and butter; the taste of the dessert will depend on their taste.

Step 2

Step 2
Place the chocolate, broken into pieces, and butter in a bowl. Place the water in the pan on the fire to heat. We will make a water bath. This means that the bowl of chocolate will need to be placed over a pan of boiling water. Therefore, choose dishes of the appropriate size and not made of plastic. The water should not reach the bottom of the bowl. Melt the chocolate and butter, stirring with a spatula, until smooth.

Step 3

Step 3
While the chocolate is melting, beat the eggs with sugar. Beat with a mixer until a fluffy light mass is formed.

Step 4

Step 4
Add the sifted flour to the beaten eggs and mix gently. You may need a little less or more flour, depending on the consistency of the dough. Read more about the properties of flour in the article at the end of this recipe.

Step 5

Step 5
Add melted chocolate. It should cool slightly, but not become cold. Mix gently with a whisk until smooth.

Step 6

Step 6
Grease the pan in which you will bake the fondant with butter. If it is not silicone, but iron, then sprinkle flour or cocoa on top of the butter, shake off the excess. Pour the batter evenly into the molds. It will not rise much, so there is no need to leave a lot of space.

Step 7

Step 7
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Place the pan with the dough to bake. I baked the fondant for 8 minutes, but it may take you less or more time. A crust should form on top and craters like these should form. I don’t recommend baking it longer, otherwise the filling won’t be liquid. Focus on your oven and the appearance of the cupcakes. Read about ovens in the article below the steps. Remove the prepared fondants from the oven. Serve them hot. Bon appetit!
