Fondant au chocolat

Creme brulee

The « Fondant au chocolat » is indeed the work of Michel Bras, a pastry Chef, who in his Aubrac kitchen spent two years refining his recipe.

The original recipe was based on a frozen ganache core and then incorporated into a biscuit dough. Since 1981, the date of the birth of the Fondant, the recipe has simplified and the principle of two doughs and temperatures is now often abandoned in favor of a single biscuit dough high in chocolate.

The word « Fondant » means « Melting ». The cake will melt in your mouth 😉
