In Italy we say ‘You can’t have a full barrel and a drunk wife’. In other words, a clean kitchen and a tasty fondant au chocolat on your plate just don’t go well together. But, who cares! I decided to mess up a little my kitchen. As long as the outcome is this wonderful French dessert, I’m all for it!<\/span><\/p>\n Usually it’s my brother who makes this recipe. Today it was my turn :) I love this chocolate dessert with its melted heart. In France I had it with caramel ice cream, with vanilla sauce, or plain. Today I prepared it plain, chocolate only. When you’re craving for chocolate, this<\/em> is the one to go for! It feels and tastes like a chocolate overdose :) Who is going to say no to it? ;)<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n Ingredients:<\/strong><\/p>\n 8 eggs<\/p>\n 260 g \/ 9 oz of sugar<\/p>\n 125 g \/ 4\u00bdoz of butter<\/p>\n 185 g \/ 6\u00bd oz of dark couverture chocolate<\/p>\n 175 g \/ 6\u00bcoz of flour<\/p>\n a pinch of salt<\/p>\n * \u00a0* \u00a0* \u00a0* \u00a0*<\/p>\n Prepare the moulds by brushing them very well with butter. Then cover the insides with either flour or cocoa powder. Preheat the oven at 200\u00b0C \/ 392\u00b0F.<\/p>\n Fill approx. 1\/3 of a pot with water and put the stove at medium heat. Place a bowl inside of the pot and fill it with the butter and the couverture chocolate. Stir once in a while until the mix melts. then put aside and let it cool off for a few minutes.<\/p>\n In a separate bowl whisk the eggs with the sugar. Then gradually add the chocolate mix. Mix well.<\/p>\n Add the flour and salt. Keep stirring until you get a smooth batter.<\/p>\n Now fill about \u00be of each mould and bake for approx. 9-12min (depending on the oven).<\/p>\n I recommend taking one out and see if the chocolate heart is liquid. Leaving them in the oven\u00a0only<\/em> 2 or 3 min longer can already make them turn out dry like a muffin!<\/p>\n Serve with some powdered sugar, vanilla sauce, ice cream or red fruits.<\/p>\n Bon app\u00e9tit!<\/em><\/p>\n Prep Time: 45-60 min<\/p>\n Serves 12 (pieces)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In Italy we say ‘You can’t have a full barrel and a drunk wife’.
