Directions
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 chocolatethe possibilities are endless! Try serving it with recipe #353546 Gordon claims that this is the best selling dessert in his restaurants!, I am neither a chocolate nor a fondant fan Made it for a birthday and I am a convert It came out perfect and tasted amazing Just enough crusted on the outside and totally gooey on the inside After chilling it in the refrigerator overnight at 34F mine baked for 13 minutes at 350 Oven was preheated at 425 for at leasst 10-15 minutes followed the recipe to a tee and used confectionary sugar Not too sweet and perfectly decadent without the caramel and ice cream topping However, for those who love those fine restaurant styled fondants, i am told a little more sugar will sweeten it to perfection or top it with good quality pure vanilla ice-cream or salted caramel sauce

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.
