Warm chocolate fondant puddings
(2)
1 hour 30 min
Classic, comforting chocolate puddings with a soft centre. I like to add a single, pitted black cherry (the ones in Kirsch are even better) to each pudding for an extra surprise! Cooking time will vary depending on whether you chill or freeze the puddings.

- Lightly grease 8 ramekins and set them on a baking tray.
- Place the chocolate and butter into a glass or metal bowl and set over the top of a pan of barely simmering water. Stir occasionally until melted and smooth. Set aside to cool.
- In a bowl, beat eggs and sugar together until well combined. Stir in melted chocolate. Sift and fold in flour until well combined.
- Spoon the mixture into each ramekin, until about 3/4 full. Push a cherry into each pudding, gently forcing it down to the bottom of the ramekin. Refrigerate for a couple of hours or freeze. Cooking time will vary depending on whether you chill or freeze the puddings.
- Preheat oven to 200 C / Gas 6 if baking from chilled. Cook for 7 to 8 minutes. Preheat the oven to 220 C / Gas 7 if baking the puddings from frozen. Cook for 14 minutes.
- Remove from the oven, let stand for 2 minutes then flip the puddings onto serving plates. Serve with vanilla ice cream or with a dusting of icing sugar.
