Mint Chocolate Fondant
To me, mint chocolate is absolutely top tier. Don’t even try and fight me on it.
Mint choc ice cream, After Eights, Aero Mint… basically whatever minty choc you’ve got going, I’ll be all over it. I’ll never understand those people that say it tastes like creamy toothpaste.
I’m getting distracted now so let’s get back to this divine dessert. I’ve taken your classic chocolate fondant and obvs added a minty twist. It’s the perfect addition to a romantic night in, dinner party or amazing treat just for yourself. I shared this as a Valentine’s option as firstly, chocolate is an aphrodisiac so absolutely needs to be on your menu, and secondly, a fondant also sounds super fancy. Plus, it’s one of those impressive puds where you 100% need to get your phone out to capture that oozy, silky pour. It’s the sweet version of a proper good runny poached egg. Yeah, mebs it’s a bit basic to start filming your food, but you’re gonna wanna remember that dessert for a long time. Get it on your stories and share the fondant love.
