Steps

  • Heat sugar, butter, and salt in a saucepan until melted, then stir in cream.
  • Boil and simmer for three minutes until thick, then chill in the fridge for two hours.
  • Heat sugar, butter, salt, and 60ml of water in a frying pan until light golden-brown.
  • Smear a line of the hot caramel in the center of each serving plate.
  • Add hazelnuts to the remaining caramel and pour onto a parchment-lined baking tray.
  • Once cold, break the hazelnut brittle into pieces and set aside.
  • Preheat a baking sheet in the oven at 220°C and grease four dariole moulds.
  • Melt chocolate and butter together in a bowl over a pan of simmering water.
  • Whisk eggs and sugar for two minutes until fluffy, then mix in flour.
  • Stir the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture until well combined.
  • Fill moulds three-quarters full with batter, placing a caramel chocolate in the center of each.
  • Place fondants on the preheated tray and bake for six minutes.
  • Turn out fondants onto plates and garnish with ice cream, brittle, sauce, berries, and cocoa powder.
