Death by chocolate<br />

Salted caramel dark chocolate<br />

fondant<br />

Smooth, salted caramel sauce oozing from a<br />

rich dark chocolatey dome? Oh yes, please!<br />

This is the most indulgent, beautiful chocolate<br />

fondant ever. To save time, you can buy the<br />

salted caramel sauce, but if you are so inclined,<br />

feel free to make homemade. Either way, this<br />

treat will hit the spot.<br />

Ingredients<br />

• 150g unsalted butter<br />

• 1 heaped tbs cocoa<br />

• 175g 70% dark chocolate<br />

• 3 large eggs, plus 2 yolks<br />

• 150g caster sugar<br />

• 150g plain flour, sifted<br />

• 6 heaped tsp salted caramel sauce.<br />

Directions<br />

1. Brush 6 175ml metal pudding ramekins<br />

with melted butter.<br />

2. Add 2 teaspoons of the<br />

cocoa to one of the basins,<br />

and turn to coat the<br />

inside. Tip the cocoa into the next ramekin<br />

and repeat until all are evenly coated.<br />

3. Melt the chocolate and butter in a bowl<br />

placed over a pan of simmering water. Ensure<br />

no water gets into the bowl or the chocolate,<br />

as it will seize. Set aside to cool.<br />

4. Meanwhile, whisk the eggs, yolks and sugar<br />

for about 5 to 10 minutes.<br />

5. Whisk in the cooled chocolate and butter<br />

mixture.<br />

6. Fold in the flour and sea salt. Divide 1/3 of<br />

the mixture among the ramekins.<br />

7. Add 1 teaspoon of salted caramel to the<br />

centre of each. Top with the remaining<br />

chocolate mixture.<br />

8. Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan)<br />

9. Place the bowls on a baking tray and bake<br />

for around 10 minutes, until firm around the<br />

edges and squishy in the centre.<br />

10. Turn the puddings out onto plates,<br />

dust with icing sugar, scatter a few<br />

caramelised almonds over the top and<br />

serve warm with delicious<br />

vanilla ice cream and<br />

a drizzle of extra<br />

caramel sauce.<br />
