I had promised my chocolate loving Florian, that I will attempt a dessert he used to love in Ubon times, the Chocolate Bento Box. That one was served in a posh little box with green tea ice cream on the side. The first recipe that Google coughed up was Fucking Gordon’s, but I decided to use it, it looked easy and I like the idea of being able to store it in the fridge overnight before cooking. As I’m busy massacrating my lawn, I think it will be handy tomorrow to have a dessert nearly ready.

For 5 fondants I used 100g of good, dark chocolate, same amount of butter, plain flour and sugar, plus 2 egg yolks and 2 eggs. First I prepared the ramekins, brushed them with melted butter in a similar way like for the souffle ( upwards) and dusted with cocoa.

I melted the chocolate and butter in a bowl above boiling water, then chilled while I whisked the eggs with sugar. The flour went in with the eggs and then the chocolate, all of that into the ramekins and in the fridge for at least 20 minutes.

I baked them in 200 Celsius for 12 minutes. The smell in the kitchen was fantastic, but tomorrow I will keep them in  for a bit longer. It’s supposed to be runny in the middle, mine today were a bit too runny, but tasted great. Florian finished his. 🙂
