The 89th Bake: Paul’s Chocolate Volcanoes
It’s getting close to Christmas, only 7 days to go. A bit frightening really with so much to do. It’s a good time to put your feet up, take some time out for yourself if you can, take a bath, take a deep breath, take a walk, because all this stress isn’t good. I like to try to do everything well in advance because I know just before the big day I’ll be making the dishes I’ve been assigned which this year are: trifle, cheese loghttps://thebakersdozenbakeoff.com/2018/11/21/cheese-log/ and cevichehttps://thebakersdozenbakeoff.com/2018/09/10/ceviche/ and be caught up in the mad rush. Being organised hopefully will help but well rested too, hopefully.
Anyway this decadent little treat popped out at me from the page and not having any specific reason to make it didn’t stop me. If you’ve never made a fondant, give it a go. It’s fun though stressful waiting those 8 minutes for the puddings to cook and then pulling them out at just the right moment to get the gooey centre. Here is Paul’s recipe https://www.bbc.com/food/recipes/chocolate_volcanoes_37330
