Fondant au Chocolat

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350F/160C
2. In a medium bowl, beat the flour (optional), sugar and egg yolks until the mixture becomes light and frothy.
3. Melt the butter and chocolate in the microwave in 30 second increments, stirring between each break. Alternatively, you can melt the butter and chocolate over heat in a double broiler.
4. Add the melted chocolate into the egg mixture, one tablespoon at a time to prevent the eggs from getting too hot.
5. In another bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
6. Fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture until fully incorporated.
7. Pour the mixture in a greased pan and place in the oven in a hot water bath (bain marie) for 30-35 minutes
8. Serve with freshly whipped cream and season fruit!
