CHOCOLATE FONDANT

A gooey prepare-ahead dessert that's perfect for entertaining - it's all a matter of timing...

Provided by Gordon Ramsay

Time 1h

Yield Makes 9 fondants

Number Of Ingredients 8

50g melted butter, for brushing
cocoa powder, for dusting
200g good-quality dark chocolate, chopped into small pieces
200g butter, in small pieces
200g golden caster sugar
4 eggs and 4 yolks
200g plain flour
Caramel sauce (see 'Goes well with') and vanilla ice cream or orange sorbet, to serve

Steps:

  • First get your moulds ready. Using upward strokes, heavily brush melted butter (use 50g in total) all over the inside of the pudding mould. Place the mould in the fridge or freezer. Brush more melted butter over the chilled butter, then add a good spoonful of cocoa powder into the mould. Tip the mould so the powder completely coats the butter. Tap any excess cocoa back into the jar, then repeat with the next mould.
  • Place a bowl over a pan of barely simmering water, then slowly melt 200g good-quality dark chocolate and 200g butter, both chopped into small pieces, together. Remove the bowl from the heat and stir until smooth. Leave to cool for about 10 mins.
  • In a separate bowl whisk 4 eggs and 4 egg yolks together with 200g golden caster sugar until thick and pale and the whisk leaves a trail; use an electric whisk if you want. Sift 200g plain flour into the eggs, then beat together.
  • Pour the melted chocolate into the egg mixture in thirds, beating well between each addition, until all the chocolate is added and the mixture is completely combined to a loose cake batter.
  • Tip the fondant batter into a jug, then evenly divide between the moulds. The fondants can now be frozen for up to a month and cooked from frozen. Chill for at least 20 mins or up to the night before. To bake from frozen, simply carry on as stated, adding 5 mins more to the cooking time.
  • Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Place the fondants on a baking tray, then cook for 10-12 mins until the tops have formed a crust and they are starting to come away from the sides of their moulds. Remove from the oven, then leave to sit for 1 min before turning out.
  • Loosen the fondants by moving the tops very gently so they come away from the sides, easing them out of the moulds. Tip each fondant slightly onto your hand so you know it has come away, then tip back into the mould ready to plate up.
  • Starting from the middle of each plate, squeeze a spiral of caramel sauce - do all the plates you need before you go on to the next stage.
  • Sit a fondant in the middle of each plate. Using a large spoon dipped in hot water, scoop a 'quenelle' of ice cream.
  • Carefully place the ice cream on top of the fondant, then serve immediately. Repeat with the rest of the fondants.

GORDON RAMSAY'S CHOCOLATE FONDANT

A gooey, decadent dessert-a hot pudding with a molten middle--irresistible! This is perfect for entertaining, as it can be made way ahead of time. They will sit happily in the fridge overnight, or in the freezer for up to a month (baking from frozen, add 5 minutes extra onto cooking time). I strongly advise you to make some extras as an 'insurance policy' to allow for any errors. I can assure you that they won't go to waste if all goes to plan. Once you have mastered this recipe, feel free to experiment with flavourings--add Baileys, Cointreau or finely grated orange zest to the chocolate-the possibilities are endless! Try serving it with recipe #353546. Gordon claims that this is the best selling dessert in his restaurants!

200 g butter, chopped into small pieces
200 g golden caster sugar
4 eggs
4 egg yolks
200 g plain flour

Steps:

  • Using upward strokes, heavily brush the melted butter all over the inside of nine 150 ml pudding moulds. Place them into the fridge or freezer. Once they are chilled, brush more melted butter over the chilled butter, then add a good spoonful of cocoa powder into the mould. Tip the mould so the powder completely coats the butter.

  • In another bowl whisk the eggs and yolks together with the sugar until thick and pale and the whisk leaves a trail. Sift the flour into the eggs, and then beat together.
  • Pour the melted chocolate into the egg mixture in thirds, beating well between each addition until all the chocolate is added and the mixture is completely combined to a loose cake batter.
  • Tip the fondant into a jug, then evenly divide between the moulds. These can now be frozen for up to a month and cooked from frozen. If not freezing, chill for a minimum of 20 minutes or up to 24 hours.
  • Heat the oven to 200/180/Gas 6.
  • Place the fondants on a baking tray then cook for 10-12 minutes until the tops have formed a crust and they are starting to come away from the sides of their moulds. Remove from the oven, and then let them sit for 1 minute before turning out.
  • Loosen the fondants by moving the tops very gently so they come away from the sides, easing them out of the moulds. Tip each one slightly onto your hand so you know that it has come away, then tip back into the mould, put a plate on top and turn it over.
  • Serve with vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce.

2 egg yolks
2 eggs
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 cup pastry flour
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate (64% cocoa)
1/2 cup butter
2 1/2 cups milk
2 1/2 cups heavy cream
3/4 cup sugar
1 cup , malt granules
12 egg yolks

Steps:

  • Melt the chocolate with the butter and allow to cool. Whisk the egg yolks and eggs with the sugar then add the flour. Grease the moulds and then dust with cocoa. Pipe the mixture into the greased moulds and then bake at 350ºF for 8-12 minutes, rotating half way through.
  • Malt ice cream, 2 1/2 cups milk, 2 1/2 cups double cream, 3/4 cup of caster sugar, About 1 cup of malt granules, 12 free-range egg yolks.
  • Bring the milk and cream to the boil in a large pan. Turn down the heat and whisk in the malt. Stir until completely dissolved and the liquid is smooth.
  • In a large bowl, beat the yolks and sugar together then trickle in the hot liquid to mix, stirring vigorously to prevent the yolks from scrambling. Pour the combined mixture back into the pan and stir continuously over low heat until it thickens to a light custard consistency.
  • Pass the mixture through a fine sieve and cool down in an ice-bath, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin from forming. When cool, churn in an ice cream machine until almost firm. Transfer to a container and freeze until set.
  • To serve, remove the fondant from the mould and place on a plate. Top with malt ice cream.

Tips:

  • Make sure to use good quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the fondant will taste.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the fondant tough.
  • Bake the fondant until it is just set. The center should be slightly undercooked for a gooey center.
  • Let the fondant cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help it to set and prevent it from falling apart.
  • Serve the fondant with your favorite toppings, such as ice cream, whipped cream, or berries.

Gordon Ramsay's chocolate fondant is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert. It is perfect for any occasion, whether you are entertaining guests or just looking for a sweet treat. With its rich chocolate flavor and gooey center, this fondant is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
