Classic Fondue

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Let's start cooking the French dessert with the most important thing – the choice of chocolate. Bitter chocolate must be of high quality, the cocoa content in which should not be less than 72% to 90%.

2. Step 2:

   

   Break the chocolate into small pieces, put them in a container in which we will later heat it. A piece of butter is also turned into small pieces by slicing it with a knife. Add to the chocolate pieces and send the container with the contents to melt the ingredients in a steam bath, stirring them constantly and bringing them to a homogeneous mass.

3. Step 3:

   

   We drive eggs into a separate container, pour powdered sugar. Using a mixer, beat the eggs with powder until a white foam forms.

4. Step 4:

   

   In the egg-sugar mass, sift the flour through a sieve, add cocoa powder (like chocolate should be of excellent quality), baking powder and a little salt. With a mixer, beat all the ingredients again.

6. Step 5:

   

   Pour the whipped mass into the chocolate-butter mixture and mix well with a wooden spoon so that the mass becomes homogeneous.

7. Step 6:

   

   Preheat the oven to a temperature of 200 ° C. Now we will prepare the molds in which the fondans will be baked. To do this, take the ramekins and lubricate them with oil. Then sprinkle them with cocoa powder, fill the molds with 2/3 chocolate mass. You can also use silo molds, so it will be easier to remove the cupcakes from the mold. Ramekins with chocolate mass are sent to a preheated oven for 5.5 minutes. When baking, do not open the oven in any case!

8. Step 7:

   

   We take the fondans out of the oven and immediately serve them to the table, removing them from a ceramic mold or leaving them in ramekins, it depends on which serving you like best or on your mood. French dessert is served with a ball of ice cream.
