Chocolate flop to chocolate heaven
Having seen a lot of failed attempts at Chocolate fondant puddings on Celebrity Masterchef this week, I thought I would like to give one a try. I have had shop bought ones before and relished their divine rich taste. To me they are the ultimate of decadent puddings, and the worst things for you always taste the best.
The recipe I followed from the BBC Food page seemed simple enough but I fell at the final hurdle of timings and ended up with a runny, albeit delcious, mess served with orange and vanilla ice cream. I remained undeterred, though, had another go the following night and left them in for a few minutes longer, which was much more successful but still not quite done enough. They still tasted absolutely divine, but I will keep trying until I get the perfect consistency. It’s a hard job, but somebody’s gotta do it!

Try Gordon Ramsay’s version, I’ve made it numerous times and it’s always worked and I am the worst baker ever!
Still looks tasty though. Nom nom!

I’ve had a look at it and it’s virtually the same recipe! Must be my oven as they certainly weren’t done after 12 minutes. I’m not bothered about repeatedly trying to perfect it

Good on you for persisting!
I reckon so long as it tastes great, you needn’t worry too much about the rest…
