TT is still floating on chocolate cloud 9 and you can join him …..
fondant means melting in French – and as you can see, the chocolate doesn’t just melt, it oozes! |
If you like entertaining, here is the perfect dessert and we have Gordon Ramsay to thank. He’s quite a character in his own kitchen but on this occasion I have to hand it to him. I am thrilled to have found this recipe and am posting even though I haven’t got all the photos. I deliberately didn’t take any as I thought this would be a practice run. But it turned out to be a real winner so take it from me and follow the directions just like I did. I can only show you the results.

We all know that chocolate wins hands down. For me, this recipe also wins because it can be prepared beforehand and frozen. Full points!! All you have to do is pre-heat the oven, retrieve the individual puddings from the freezer, and put them in. It’s a cinch. Wherever you are. Turkey, the UK or wherever. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t love chocolate and these elegant little puddings are sensational.
afiyet olsun! |
These look amazing and I will definitely be making them. Sounds like the perfect ending to a great dinner.
I'm so glad you like them and yes, I personally think they are a great final act for a dinner party!

btw claudia…..i made your peppers again this morning to serve with some rosemary focaccia i baked for lunch…they are just wonderful! how did i live so long without them in my life?!!! thanks again! joyce
You are such an indefatigable cook, dear octoberfarm! Good for you. But you don't like choc??? How can that be?? Hope your hubby loves these as much as mine does!
Yum! These look very similar to the recipe we used to make when I worked at Jean Georges in NYC! 😉 Which brand of chocolate did you use? Lately, I've been buying my bulk chocolate from Kahve Dunyasi, but of course I'd rather have some French or Belgian chocolate.
If I want very special chocolate, I buy Lindt.Otherwise, I just get Nestlé's regular dark chocolate :). How do you find Kahve Dunyasi choc for cooking? It never entered my head to use that…
I'm going to give this a go at the week-end. Looks wonderful.
What an amazing looking dish! I so want to try this!
I can feel a chocolate rush coming on!!1
These look wonderful. And I can imagine playing with the flavors after mastering the basic recipe–raspberry, orange, etc. Can't wait to try it out.
How very lovely. This is a wonderful dessert for a special occasion. It looks beautiful and anything that looks that good simply has to be delicious. I hope you have a great day. Blessings…Mary
wow looks so delectable!
Sürpriz sürpriz! I know many Turks who love their çikolata with exception to my dear husband. Lovely fondants!
Merhaba, Mrs Ergül! Thanks for commenting on my blog!! Doesn't he really like chocolate??
