Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 tbsp (60 ml) unsalted butter, plus extra to grease
2 tsp (10 ml) unsweetened cocoa powder, to dust
2 oz (50 g) good-quality dark, bittersweet chocolate (minimum 70% cocoa solids), in pieces
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
1/3 cup (75 ml) superfine sugar
2 tbsp (30 ml) Tia Maria liqueur
1/3 cup (75 ml) all-purpose flour, sifted
crème fraîche or vanilla ice cream, to serve

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Butter 4 ramekins (3 inches/7.5 cm in diameter) and dust liberally with cocoa powder. Melt the chocolate and butter in a small bowl set over a pan of hot water, then take off the heat and stir until smooth.
  • Using an electric whisk, beat the whole egg, egg yolk, and sugar together until pale and thick, then incorporate the chocolate mixture. Fold in the liqueur, followed by the flour.
  • Divide the chocolate mixture among the ramekins and bake for 12 minutes. Turn the chocolate fondants out onto warm plates and serve immediately with a dollop of crème fraîche or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
