You will need:
- 200 g dark chocolate
- 200 g butter, cut into cubes
- 6 eggs
- 200 g sugar
- 100 g flour
- ½ tbsp ground coriander
For the cups:
- 50 g butter, at room temperature
- 4 tbsp cocoa powder
Step 1:
Set the oven to 200ºC (400ºF, gas mark 6)
Step 2:
Take one of the aluminium cups and using the brush, completely coat the inside with butter.
Add 1 tsp of the cocoa powder, turn the cup around gently to coat the buttered surface and tip out any excess powder.
Repeat this process, with all the remaining cups.
Step 3:
Put the butter and chocolate into a mixing bowl.
Place the bowl over a saucepan, about a third full of simmering water. Make sure the water doesn't touch the bottom of the bowl, so the steam melts the ingredients gradually.
Stir occasionally to combine the ingredients well.
When thoroughly melted, remove from the heat.
Step 4:
Pour the eggs into another mixing bowl and whip them vigorously. Add a little of the sugar and continue to whip.
Continue to add the sugar in stages and combine it into the eggs until all the sugar is blended in.
Step 5:
Pour the chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and whisk well. Add the flour and ground coriander and whisk again.
It's important to do all of this as quickly as possible. If not, the chocolate will start to cool down and solidify.
Step 6:
Place the chocolate-coated cups onto an oven tray and carefully pour the mixture into each one.
Step 7:
Place the tray into the centre of the preheated oven and bake for 6-8 minutes. After 6 minutes check the fondants. They should be cooked around the edges, but with the chocolate still soft in the centre. Then either remove, or cook for a couple of minutes more.
Step 8:
Take one of the fondants, ease it out onto a plate and dust it lightly with icing sugar. Break it open with a spoon, to release the liquid chocolate centre and drizzle over some cream. Wild fruits make an ideal accompaniment and it can also be served with a dollop of vanilla ice cream.
