Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg and sugar mixture, stirring gently to combine. Then, add the pistachio praline and mix until fully integrated.
Step 2: Bake the Fondant
Divide and Add Pistachios:
If using ramekins, evenly distribute the fondant mixture into the prepared ramekins, filling them about three-quarters full. If using a larger dish, pour the mixture into the dish. Sprinkle the chopped pistachios evenly on top for added texture.
Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes for individual ramekins or 15-20 minutes for a larger fondant. The edges should be set while the center remains slightly jiggly for that signature molten effect.
Cool Slightly:
Once baked, remove the fondant from the oven and let it cool for a minute.
Step 3: Serve
Invert and Plate:
For individual servings, carefully run a knife around the edges of the ramekins. Invert each fondant onto a dessert plate. For a larger dish, cut into squares or wedges directly.
Garnish:
Dust with powdered sugar and garnish with a drizzle of extra pistachio praline or whole pistachios for a beautiful presentation.
Optional Accompaniments:
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a delightful contrast, or a dollop of crème fraîche to enhance the flavors.
✨ Presentation Tips:
Serving Style: For an elegant touch, use white or pastel-colored plates to emphasize the rich colors of the fondant and garnishes.
Garnish with Elegance: Sprinkle additional chopped pistachios and drizzle with molten chocolate or caramel sauce for a stunning visual.
Create Atmosphere: Serve each fondant with a small cup of espresso or dessert wine for an elevated dining experience.
🌟 Enjoy!
