molten

A gooey prepare-ahead dessert that's perfect for entertaining - it's all a matter of timing...

Chocolate fondant

melted butter,for brushing

cocoa powder,for dusting

good-quality dark chocolate,chopped into small pieces

butter,in small pieces

golden caster sugar

eggsand 4 yolks

plain flour

Caramel sauce (see 'Goes well with') and vanillaice cream

First get your moulds ready. Using upward strokes, heavily brush melted butter (use 50g in total) all over the inside of the pudding mould. Place the mould in the fridge or freezer. Brush more melted butter over the chilled butter, then add a good spoonful of cocoa powder into the mould. Tip the mould so the powder completely coats the butter. Tap any excess cocoa back into the jar, then repeat with the next mould.

Place a bowl over a pan of barely simmering water, then slowly melt 200g good-quality dark chocolate and 200g butter, both chopped into small pieces, together. Remove the bowl from the heat and stir until smooth. Leave to cool for about 10 mins.

In a separate bowl <a href="https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/content/top-five-whisks">whisk</a> 4 eggs and 4 egg yolks together with 200g golden caster sugar until thick and pale and the whisk leaves a trail; use an electric whisk if you want. Sift 200g plain flour into the eggs, then beat together.

Pour the melted chocolate into the egg mixture in thirds, beating well between each addition, until all the chocolate is added and the mixture is completely combined to a loose cake batter.

Tip the fondant batter into a jug, then evenly divide between the moulds. The fondants can now be frozen for up to a month and cooked from frozen. Chill for at least 20 mins or up to the night before. To bake from frozen, simply carry on as stated, adding 5 mins more to the cooking time.

Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Place the fondants on a baking tray, then cook for 10-12 mins until the tops have formed a crust and they are starting to come away from the sides of their moulds. Remove from the oven, then leave to sit for 1 min before turning out.

Loosen the fondants by moving the tops very gently so they come away from the sides, easing them out of the moulds. Tip each fondant slightly onto your hand so you know it has come away, then tip back into the mould ready to plate up.

Starting from the middle of each plate, squeeze a spiral of caramel sauce – do all the plates you need before you go on to the next stage.

Sit a fondant in the middle of each plate. Using a large spoon dipped in hot water, scoop a ‘quenelle’ of ice cream.

Carefully place the ice cream on top of the fondant, then serve immediately. Repeat with the rest of the fondants.

Microwave for 1 minute on full power until the cake has risen and there is no raw batter on the top of the cake. You can quickly stick a fork or spoon into the centre of the cake to see if it cooked through. Cook in further 10 seconds bursts, if needed (but be careful not to overcook). Serve with whipped cream or ice cream, if desired.

Vanilla Hot Chocolate Molten Cookies

salted butter

chocolate chips

eggs,

all-purpose flour

baking soda

salt

flaky sea salt

1. Preheat the oven to 350° F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. 2. In the microwave, melt the butter and chocolate chips together. 3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until bubbles form on top, about 2 minute. Add in vanilla and melted chocolate, whisking until the mix looks glossy. Mix in the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chunks. Put the bowl in the freezer, let the dough sit for 30 minutes, until it is scoop-able. The batter should be like a thickened fudge. DO NOT skip this step. It&#39;s essential to the recipe.4. Line a small baking sheet or plate with parchment paper (anything that fits in your freezer). Using a 1/4 cup measure cookie scoop, scoop the dough into balls and place on the prepared baking sheet. Freeze for 15-30 minutes, until firm. DO NOT skip this step. It&#39;s essential to the recipe.5. Pull the dough balls out of the freezer. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Space the cookies 2 inches apart. Bake for 8-12 minutes or until the cookies start to set around the edges, the centers should be a little doughy. Let cool on the pan. 6. Sprinkle with sea salt. Eat warm or let cool and store in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Hot chocolate with whipped cream is wonderful for dipping (:

Followed the recipe exactly and they came out SO perfect!!!!  Definitely don't forget the two steps where you put the dough in the freezer!  Thank you for the delish recipe!

Very easy, very delicious recipe that even a man can do.  Trust me, the wife loves them and there have been a constant supply in our home since I discovered this recipe.  Thanks for sharing and great job in developing the recipe.

OK, these are amazing! So delish!! Only thing is, when I halved the recipe, it came out really crumbly and not very vanilla-y, so I added an extra egg and more vanilla and it came out so delicious!! However, they didn't spread as much as they did in the photo, but they still taste so delicious. They are the best!

The cookies are delicious even better when they are turned into whoppie pies

I recommend you make these

Cut the recipe in half since if was just me and my fiancé eating them. Followed everything to a tee and the cookies cooked in a dome shape. Not sure what I did wrong :( The taste is amazing still!
