Indulge Your Senses: Celebrating National Chocolate Day with Melodramático Dark Rum
Chocolate Fondant recipe

❤️

On September 13th, we’re raising our glasses and our forks to celebrate National Chocolate Day! At Innocent Spirits, we believe that chocolate is one of life’s greatest pleasures, and when paired with the deep, rich notes of our Melodramático Dark Rum, it becomes an unforgettable experience.

So, let’s dive into a sinfully delicious dessert that combines the best of both worlds: chocolate and our award-winning Melodramático Dark Rum.

Introducing: Melodramático Dark Rum Chocolate Fondant

Ingredients:

  • 100g of high-quality dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
  • 100g of unsalted butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 100g of caster sugar
  • 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour
  • A pinch of salt
  • A dash of pure vanilla extract
  • A generous shot (about 60 MLS) of Innocent Spirits Melodramático Dark Rum

Instructions:

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F). Grease four ramekins or small oven-safe dishes with butter, then dust them with cocoa powder, tapping out any excess.
  2. Melt Chocolate and Butter: In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate and butter together. You can do this by placing the bowl over a pot of simmering water or using short bursts in the microwave. Stir until smooth, and set it aside to cool slightly.
  3. Whisk Eggs and Sugar: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, egg yolks, and caster sugar together until the mixture becomes pale and slightly thickened. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes of vigorous whisking.
  4. Combine Chocolate and Egg Mixtures: Gradually fold the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the egg and sugar mixture. Add a pinch of salt and the pure vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
  5. Add Flour: Sift in the all-purpose flour and gently fold it into the chocolate mixture until you have a smooth batter.
  6. The Melodramático Touch: It’s time to introduce the star of the show – Innocent Spirits Melodramático Dark Rum. Pour in that generous shot and gently fold it into the batter. The rum’s complex and rich flavours will complement the chocolate beautifully.
  7. Fill and Bake: Divide the batter evenly among your prepared ramekins. Place them on a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes. The edges should be set, but the centre should remain slightly gooey.
  8. Serve and Savor: Carefully run a knife around the edges of each fondant to loosen it, then invert it onto a serving plate. The warm, molten centre will ooze out decadently.
  9. Garnish and Enjoy: Dust your Melodramático Dark Rum Chocolate Fondants with a touch of cocoa powder, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or a dollop of freshly whipped cream. Then, savour each spoonful of this blissful dessert.
