Eb6ainiya Ramadan's recipe competition:Chocolate fondant with 2 twists!!

Hello again~ WashWash here !!

So, I have been thinking of a recipe to enter Eb6ainiya Ramadan's recipe competition and I came up with chocolate fondant (Lava\Molten cake) with 4 twists. I only did 3 twists and I'm entering with the 2 best!

The reason why I chose chocolate fondant is because its my fa

mily's favorite, when I asked them what was the best dessert I ever made they picked chocolate fondant! (and baked cheesecake too!!). The basic recipe is wonderful by it self without any twist or additions~but since I'm entering a competition I thought I add something special~

The 4 twists that I came up with were: White chocolate, Mint, Caramel and peanut butter. However, I didn't do the caramel one this time..Maybe some other time! Anyhow, I'm entering the competition with the basic recipe+the 2 additions: White chocolate and peanut butter!

I'm not aiming for the prize, just entering the competition is somethin

g I'm proud of!

Lets get cookinguuh~

Chocolate Fondant

-Ingredients:

100g butter.
100g dark chocolate.
100g sugar.
50g plain flour (all purpose).
3 eggs.

-Directions:

Melt the chocolate and butter on a double boiler. .let cool, then sift the flour into the chocolate mixture,set aside.
Beat the eggs, and gradually add the sugar until light and fluffy!
Add the chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and whisk gently.
Pour into cup pans and bake for 6 mintues.

-Tips for perfect fondant:

When melting the chocolate and butter on a double boiler, make sure the water is not boiling and the bottom of the bowl is not touching the water!
Don't over bake, 6 minutes is perfect! otherwise you will end up with dry chocolate cake with no gooey chocolaty chocolate inside!

-Twists:

The fun part! where you can get creative~

For the peanut butter:

Before baking the chocolate fondant, drop on spoon of peanut butter into the batter. Its ready to get baked now!
In a sauce pan roast unsalted peanuts until golden brown, add 20g of butter ,1tbls light brown sugar and heat. Slice some banana and fry in the peanut mixture. Once the bananas are soft and caramelized off the heat.
Take your choco-peanutbutter fondant, add the bananas and peanuts on top of it and...DIG IN!

For the white chocolate:

All you have to do is add few of your favorite white chocolate into your batter before baking!

For the mint:

Before pouring the batter into the cup pan, mix little bit of mint extract and taste. Once you think it got the right flavor, pour into pan and bake!

Extra:

-Serve hot with a scoop of ice-cream or whipped cream!
