Crispy Warm Chocolate Fondant
with Vanilla Bean Ice Cream and Fresh Strawberries
8 Servings

INGREDIENTS
1.5 lb. Melted Butter
1 lb. Sugar
16 Egg Yolks
16 Whole Eggs
1.5 lb. Melted Chocolate
11 oz. Sifted All-Purpose Flour

PREPARATION
Mix the melted butter and chocolate. Then slowly add the mixed eggs and egg yolks. Mix the sugar and the sifted flour together, and add it to the chocolate/egg mixture until all lumps disappear. Then chill until the batter becomes hard.

In order to make the aumonière (or bouquet), use 1 sheet of feuille de brick, and brush it with melted butter. Sprinkle it with a little bit of sugar, and place about 4 oz. of the chocolate in the center of the sheet. Using both hands, close the aumonière, and tie it with a slice of vanilla bean. Freeze it for about one hour. Bake at 375 degrees for 10 minutes.

Before serving, sprinkle powdered sugar on the bouquet, and serve with vanilla bean ice cream and fresh strawberries.

Bon Appétit!
