Ingredients:

2 eggs
2 egg yolks
55g sugar
100g chocolate (70% cocoa solids)
100g butter

Method:

Mix the eggs and sugar well, but gently and do not incorporate any air.  Melt the chocolate and butter over hot water.  Gently fold the egg mix into the chocolate and bang the bowl on a hard surface to expel any air. 

Double butter tin foil moulds, then pour the chocolate mix into the moulds and chill.  Bake in a low oven at 110°c, for about 10 minutes.  Rest the fondants for 2 minutes, and then tip onto a plate.  (They should be firm to the touch but fondant in the middle)
