Mexican Chocolate Fondant
On today’s edition of Superfood Mondays, we have a recipe for an indulgent Mexican Chocolate Fondant – made with rich dark chocolate, cocoa powder, eggs, butter, and caster sugar, then baked to perfection in the oven. This recipe is full of dark chocolate, which is rich in antioxidants and nutrients. Dark chocolate is naturally high in iron, magnesium, manganese, and copper. It’s good for the heart, the skin, and may even help improve brain function.For extra pizzazz, we’ve added Chilli No. 5’s Mexican Fury hot sauce. Not only does the hot sauce add a powerful burst of flavour, but it also adds extra health benefits to energise your day.
