CRÈME EGG CHOCOLATE FONDANTS

Ingredients
  • 200 grams unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing
  • 150 grams dark chocolate, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • 3 eggs
  • ⅓ cup caster sugar
  • 3 tablespoons plain flour, sifted
  • 6 Cadbury Crème Eggs
  • Whipped cream
Instructions

 

  • Place the butter and dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on medium heat until completely melted and smooth, about 2 minutes, stirring as required.
  • Lightly grease six 175ml ramekins or dariole moulds. Sprinkle the moulds with the cocoa powder and rotate the dishes to evenly coat the sides with the cocoa.
  • Prepare the barbecue for indirect cooking over medium-low heat (close to 180°C). If using a Weber Q barbecue, set up your barbecue with a convection tray and a trivet.
  • Using an electric mixer beat together the eggs and sugar until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Slowly add the melted chocolate mixture. Sift in the flour and continue beating until combined.
  • Pour the chocolate mixture into the moulds, filling each mould to three-quarters full. Place a Cadbury Crème Egg® into each mould. Top with another teaspoonful of the chocolate mixture, or until the egg is completely covered.
  • Bake the fondants over indirect medium-low heat, with the lid closed, until a crust is formed on the tops and they are starting to come away from the sides, 20 to 24 minutes. Remove the fondants from the barbecue and leave to rest for 2 minutes.
  • Slide a butter knife around the inside of the moulds to loosen the fondant. Turn out onto a plate and serve with whipped cream
