Steps

  • Grease six 175ml dariole moulds with butter and line the bases with baking parchment.
  • Coat the moulds with a sifted mix of cocoa powder and plain flour and shake out the excess.
  • Melt the chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water.
  • Cool the chocolate mixture for 10 minutes.
  • Whisk eggs, egg yolks, sugar, and lime zest until pale and thick.
  • Fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture until just combined.
  • Sift in the self-raising flour and fold in carefully.
  • Pour mixture into moulds, cover with film, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  • Simmer lime marmalade and lime juice in a saucepan for 4 minutes until reduced.
  • Cool the lime syrup completely at room temperature.
  • Heat coconut milk and double cream until just simmering.
  • Whisk egg yolks and cornflour in a bowl until smooth.
  • Pour the warm liquid over the yolks, return to the pan, and stir over heat until thickened.
  • Preheat the oven to 200°C and bring fondants to room temperature.
  • Bake the fondants on a tray for 11 minutes until slightly wobbly in the centre.
  • Turn out fondants onto plates with coconut custard, lime syrup, and a dollop of cream.
