Lunch box chocolate fondant slice

choc fondant slice

Yum, yum ! And for bonus: this lunch box chocolate fondant slice is super mega easy and quick to cook.  It is pretty much the case of mixing all ingredients together (no skills required there) and placing it in brownie tin or slice tin, bake it and this is it!  In terms of effort value vs results, it rates pretty high!

That recipe is based on a can of condensed milk (replace  sugar and need for butter).

If you are not going to use all of it within the coming days, best is to wrap in cell cling wrap and freeze.  Place them in the kids lunch box, by the time they will eat them, they will be defrosted.

Now, on the butter: I tried without and with butter (70 g), both are quite satisfactory, the butter version is a little more rich and in term of taste a little more complex. The children did not make the difference between the two versions.

Makes 12 lunch box serves

Cooking time, with no added butter – 10 min (almost double if adding butter)

Ingredients:
  • 1 can (about 400g) of sweet condensed milk
  • 200 g of dark cooking chocolate
  • 4 eggs
  • 70 g of butter (only if you want to add a little more richness, otherwise omit)
  • 50 g of flour
Method
  1. Pre-heat oven to 180°C
  2. Butter and line a brownie tin
  3. Melt the chocolate (and butter if adding)
  4. Add the eggs one by one and the condensed milk. Then add the flour.
  5. Pour in the prepared tin. Make sure not to trap air bubbles as the batter is quite thick especially if not using the butter (to make sure, tap your filled tin on the bench a couple of time, this will make any bubble break)
  6. Bake until cooked, the slice must be firm when touching (not wobbly), the edges will show a few crackling marks.
  7. Cool down for a few minutes before cutting in portions.
