Cooking Time: 15 Minutes
Preparation plus Chilling: 45 minutes
Makes 9 Fondant
Ingredients
  •     50g melted butter, for brushing
  •     200g good-quality dark chocolate, chopped into small pieces
  •     200g butter, in small pieces
  •     200g golden caster sugar
  •     4 egg and 4 yolk
  •     200g plain flour
  •     Caramel sauce (see 'Goes well with') and vanilla ice creamor orange sorbet, to serve

Method
  1.     First get your moulds ready. Using upward strokes, heavily brush the melted butter all over the inside of the pudding mould. Place the mould in the fridge or freezer. Brush more melted butter over the chilled butter, then add a good spoonful of cocoa powder into the mould. Tip the mould so the powder completely coats the butter. Tap any excess cocoa back into the jar, then repeat with 1 the next mould.
  2.     Place a bowl over a pan of barely simmering water, then slowly melt the chocolate and butter together. Remove bowl from the heat and stir until smooth. Leave to cool for about 10 mins.
  3.     In a separate bowl whisk the eggs and yolks together with the sugar until thick and pale and the whisk leaves a trail; use an electric whisk if you want. Sift the flour into the eggs, then beat together.
  4.     Pour the melted chocolate into the egg mixture in thirds, beating well between each addition, until all the chocolate is added and the mixture is completely combined to a loose cake batter.
  5.     Tip the fondant batter into a jug, then evenly divide between the moulds. The fondants can now be frozen for up to a month and cooked from frozen. Chill for at least 20 mins or up to the night before. To bake from frozen, simply carry on as stated, adding 5 mins more to the cooking time.
  6.     Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Place the fondants on a baking tray, then cook for 10-12 mins until the tops have formed a crust and they are starting to come away from the sides of their moulds. Remove from the oven, then leave to sit for 1 min before turning out.
  7.     Loosen the fondants by moving the tops very gently so they come away from the sides, easing them out of the moulds. Tip each fondant slightly onto your hand so you know it has come away, then tip back into the mould ready to plate up.
  8.     Starting from the middle of each plate, squeeze a spiral of caramel sauce – do all the plates you need before you go on to the next stage.
  9.     Sit a fondant in the middle of each plate. Using a large spoon dipped in hot water, scoop a ‘quenelle’ of ice cream.
  10.     Carefully place the ice cream on top of the fondant, then serve immediately. Repeat with the rest of the fondants.

What is Food Processing and It's Advatages and Disadvantages - Tips

Consumers today are asking more and more questions about the relationship between food and health. They face an increasing number of food choices in the marketplace. They also hear conflicting reports about new ways of eating. Today, we will discuss subjects that you may have questions about, like food processing. What really is Food Processing? Almost every food you see in a store has been processed in some way. Fluid milk has either been pasteurized and homogenized before being placed in the dairy case, or it has been evaporated, condensed, or dried before being put on the grocery shelf. Flour has been milled. Vegetables and fruits have been blanched and frozen, or canned. Coffee may have been freeze-dried.

Tips on Buying Air Fryer | Features and Maintenance

      Hi Foodies! Today, I will share with you a very convenient home appliance that will save you time from cooking fried dishes. An air fryer is a kitchen appliance that uses hot air to fry food, typically with little or no oil. The food is placed in a basket or tray and is heated by a heating element and a fan, which blows the hot air around the food. This creates a crispy, fried texture similar to deep-frying but with less oil and fat. Air fryers can be used to cook a wide variety of foods, including chicken, fish, vegetables, and of course French Fries which I love!  Air frying is generally considered to be a healthier alternative to traditional deep-frying. Because food is cooked in hot air instead of oil, it absorbs less oil and fat. This can result in fewer calories and less saturated fat in the finished dish. Additionally, because the food is not submerged in oil, it can have a crispy texture similar to deep-fried food without the added fat. However, it...
