Forget fancy, this dessert is just pure comfort, like a shoulder to cry on when a foul mood takes over. Plus it makes for killer food porn, what’s not to love? But the main reason why I adore chocolate fondants so so much is simple; the extreme pleasure of breaking through a flimsy chocolate cakey crust to reveal the pool of molten chocolate is unrivalled. There’s no need to unmold them either. Just give me an oven glove and a spoon and I’ll dive straight into it, especially if it’s chocolate with an in-your-face hit of coffee, a familiar combo but one that I always go nuts for.

Best of all, fondants can be ladled up into ramekins and stored in the fridge ready to be baked whenever the mood strikes, which in my world, is often. But since they’re so easy to put together and takes no time to bake at all, there’s no drama even on my laziest of days. Ummm a daily dose of chocolate is definitely one treatment plan I can get into.
