A Warm Dark Chocolate Fondant with a melt in the middle, saucy centre… need I say more? This one is always a hit with my wife and kids AND anybody else who tries it! It is a great dinner party dessert as you can make it up the night before, saving you the hassle of running around on the day – enjoy cooked straight from the fridge when required.
