Chocolate Fondant - low calorie and healthy recipe in my version

I tried chocolate fondant last week and it turned out very well.  I am a bit calorie conscious person and don't freak much on cakes and sweets though I do like few of them as they are very rich in calories. This time I made  some variation in my recipe where I prepared the fondant using brown sugar instead of castor sugar and light butter. Was not sure about how it would taste like but wanted to give a try and check out if it would turn out good. It turned out yummy and within no time all of it was over. I and my hubby liked this very much. I will surely prepare it again as it does not count in lot of calories and doesn't take much time too in preparing it.

You can prepare this using Castor sugar and normal unsalted butter too. I am sure it will taste good too.

Ingredients:
  • Light Brown soft sugar - 100 gms ( can use castor sugar)
  • Eggs - 2 nos
  • Dark cooking chocolate - 100gms
  • Heart Healthy flora butter - 90 gms ( can use normal unsalted butter )
  • All purpose flour (maida) - 35 gms
Preparation:
  1. Beat the eggs and to it add the brown sugar. Beat the mixture well.
  2. Meanwhile melt the dark chocolate and butter in the microwave.
  3. Add the melted mixture to the egg  and sugar mix and stir in well. Add the flour stir it to see there are no lumps. Strain it through a strainer to remove lumps if any and get a fine mixture.
  4. Chill in the refrigerator for 10 to 15 mins for it to set.
  5. Bake in a preheat oven for 200 degree centigrade for 10 to 15 minutes. Cool and serve.
You can use a rectangle baking dish, round baking dish or muffin tins for baking it. Choice is yours.
