Cheat's Chocolate Fondant









Cheat's Chocolate Fondant

This delicious chocolate pud has a naughty secret: it's gooey center is guaranteed! Using a trick I learned from What Katie Ate I've created these decadent desserts.
Serves 6

140gms softened butter
250gms caster sugar
2 eggs
300gms (2 cups) plain/pastry flour
60gms cocoa
250ml milk
1 small tub of Nutella
15ml medium dry sherry
5ml baking powder

Preheat the oven to 170C. Beat the butter and sugar until pale and creamy, add the eggs. Beat to combine. Sift over dry ingredients and mix to combine. Stir in milk and sherry.

Lightly butter 6 ramekins. Spoon one large tbsp of batter into each of the ramekins, add a tbsp of Nutella to the center of each and spoon over the rest of the batter.

Bake for approx. 12-15 minutes (until the tops crack and a skewer comes out of the pudding clean. Remember the Nutella center and avoid it with the skewer).

Serve warm with vanilla ice-cream.
