Ingredients for the Fondants

Ingredients (8 servings)
3 Eggs
100 g Sugar
8 g Matcha powder
100 g Butter, plus extra for greasing
30 g Wheat flour
30 g Cornstarch
Salt
70 g Ground hazelnuts
12 piece(s) Dark chocolate

Preparation:

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C (fan 160°C).
  • Whisk the eggs and sugar in a bowl until frothy.
  • Dissolve the matcha powder in 2 tablespoons of hot water. Melt the butter and mix both into the egg mixture.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the flour with the cornstarch, salt, and ground hazelnuts. Then combine this with the egg mixture.
  • Grease six baking molds with some butter, dust with flour, and fill halfway with the batter. Place two pieces of chocolate in the center of each and cover with the remaining batter.
  • Bake the fondants for 8 minutes and enjoy immediately, as the chocolate should be hot and molten.

Tip:

If the fondants are made in advance, they can be kept warm in the oven at 50°C until serving. Alternatively, place them in a preheated oven at 150°C for 2–3 minutes just before serving.
