4. Prepare the Milk Cream
- While the fondants are baking, prepare the milk cream. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it starts to simmer, but do not let it boil.
- Stir in the sugar and vanilla extract, whisking until the sugar dissolves and the cream thickens slightly. Once thickened, remove from heat and set aside to cool a little.
5. Serve and Enjoy
- Serve the chocolate fondants warm, with a drizzle of the creamy milk sauce over the top. You can garnish with powdered sugar, fresh berries, or a sprig of mint for an extra touch of elegance.
🍫 Tips for the Perfect Chocolate Fondant
- Watch the timing: The key to a perfect fondant is baking it just the right amount of time. Too long, and it won’t be molten in the center. Too short, and it’ll be too runny. The edges should be firm, but the middle should jiggle slightly.
- Make it in advance: You can prepare the batter and store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours before baking. Just be sure to bring it back to room temperature before popping it in the oven.
- Get creative with fillings: For a twist, you can add a spoonful of peanut butter, salted caramel, or hazelnut spread to the center for an even richer surprise.
🍴 Serving Suggestions
- Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the perfect contrast to the warm fondant.
- Top with fresh fruit, such as raspberries or strawberries, for a burst of tartness that complements the rich chocolate.
- Add a sprinkle of sea salt over the top for a delicious sweet-salty combination.
- For extra flair, drizzle with a homemade chocolate sauce or sprinkle with cocoa powder.
