I have always wanted to make one of these. After seeing his face at Flutes at the Fort in Sg for his birthday celebration, I wanted to create a similar 'feel'. The recipe itself isn't hard, but the temperature control of the oven is frustrating (especially when the oven I used can be quite unpredictable!). Anyway, I was very very excited when the chocolate ooze out of the fondant! The picture itself doesn't look very enticing as mr ar and I happily dig our spoons into this rich dessert. We had it with caramel swirl ice cream but I think vanilla will be better.
