Recipe method


For the fondants
Preheat the oven to 200'C.


Melt the chocolate and the butter in a heatproof bowl over simmering water.

Whisk the eggs, sugar and zest of the orange until the mix has doubled in volume.
Add the flour and then the melted chocolate and butter. Spoon the mixture into individual pudding moulds and cook for 10 minutes and serve straight from the oven. They should still be runny in the middle.

To make the syrup
Boil the orange juice with the sugar for 10 minutes until the mixture has reduced and is a syrupy consistency.

For the cream
Whisk the cream until it starts to thicken and then add the sugar and grand marnier. Continue whisking until you have soft peaks.

To serve
Serve the fondants with a drizzle of the syrup and a dollop of cream on top.

Always use the best quality 70% chocolate you can find. The grand marnier can be replaced by any type of digestif to change the flavour of your cream.

    Feel free to prepare the orange syrup and the fondant mixture up to a day in advance. Mix up the fondants, pour into the moulds and then cling film and store in the fridge. Whip the cream up and remove the fondants from the fridge just before your guests arrive and then you simply have to pop the fondants in the oven after your main course has been served. Enjoy!

    I am planning to make this for a dinner party - how far in advance can I make this? I would like to minimise the time I spend away from the dinner table! Thanks
