Ingredients

25g sunflower spread, melted for brushing

Cocoa powder, for dusting

200g Extra Special Fairtrade Organic Dominican Republic Dark Chocolate, chopped

200g sunflower spread, cubed

4 eggs

4 egg yolks

200g caster sugar

200g plain flour

9 Extra Special Italian chocolate truffles

Method

1
Brush the insides of 9 x 200ml dariole moulds with sunflower spread. Dust the inside of each mould with cocoa powder. Tap out excess. Put the moulds in the freezer.
2
Put chocolate and sunflower spread cubes in a medium-sized heatproof bowl and melt over a pan of boiling water.
3
Put the eggs, egg yolks and sugar in a large bowl. Whisk until thick and mousse-like. Sift the flour into the egg mixture and fold in using a large metal spoon. Now fold in the melted chocolate mixture.
4
Fill the moulds half way and put a chocolate truffle in the centre. Divide the mixture between the moulds, filling them to 1cm from the top. The fondants can be frozen for up to a month and cooked from frozen. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 24 hours. To bake from frozen, add 5 minutes to the cooking time.
5
Pre-heat oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6. Put the fondants on a baking tray. Cook for 14-17 minutes. Remove one fondant after 14 minutes to test – it should be risen and set on the outside, but molten in the middle. When they’re ready, remove from the oven. Leave to stand for 1-2 minutes. Remove from the moulds, inverting them onto plates. Serve immediately.
