    Method

    • step 1

      Preheat the oven to around 200C.
    • step 2

      Melt the chocolate and butter in a bain marie.
    • step 3

      Mix together the icing sugar and flour in a seperate bowl. Then add the eggs and mix well.
    • step 4

      Butter two ramekin dishes. When the chocolate/butter is truly melted, pour the mixture into the flour/icing sugar/egg bowl and mix completely.
    • step 5

      Pour mixture into the ramekins about 3/4s full. Cook for approx 10mins, or until they have risen about an inch.
    • step 6

      I serve it still in the ramekin dish (in a very rustic French style!) with a raspberry coulis (recipe to follow soon) and vanilla ice cream.

    Great recipe but this is not a moelleux au chocolat this is a fondant au chocolat! A moelleux is like a nicely airy simple chocolate sponge. Very different texture!

    Have used this recipe a lot, I use GF flour and it works perfectly too. I've also made it in advance and put it in the fridge for a day or so, you need to put it in the oven for about 15 mind then.

    I made this super-easy dessert last night, and my family were very happy! I am sure to make this again, and again.... Many thanks to Mlle-emma.

    I just wanted to add that a "bain marie" in "1." is just the poncy phrase for a (glass) bowl over a saucepan over simmering water.

    'Bain Marie' is not a poncy phrase it's French, there's a clue in the recipe title.
