This post was made in collaboration with Baileys.
Chocolate fondant with Baileys ice cream and caramel sauce – a recipe for the most delicious dessert of gooey chocolate fondant with Baileys ice cream and caramel sauce. I have been looking forward to sharing this one with you. It is a soft and creamy ice cream with Baileys Salted Caramel, a warm chocolate fondant with a molten centre, served with a lovely caramel sauce, also with Baileys Salted Caramel. It is the perfect dessert to surprise your guests at Easter, New Year or any other occasion.
The soft and creamy Baileys flavour brings out the chocolate beautifully, and the caramel notes give the familiar vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce a surprising twist. It is also lovely with fresh berries. I served it with chocolate Easter eggs too, but you can choose whichever you like, or leave them out.
Chocolate fondant is one of my favourite desserts, so I had no doubt that I would make a chocolate fondant when Baileys asked me to develop a recipe with Baileys Salted Caramel. There is no Baileys in the fondant itself, but you can easily add 2-3 tbsp. Baileys to the batter. The fondants can be prepared the day before by filling the ramekins and keeping them in the fridge, then baking them straight from the fridge. For extra chocolate, put 2 pieces of chocolate in the middle of the batter.
Also try my chocolate mousse with Baileys and caramel popcorn. Enjoy!
Please note that the dessert contains alcohol.

Ingredients
Instructions
Ice cream with Baileys Salted Caramel
Beat the egg yolks, confectioner’s sugar and vanilla paste together into a thick mixture. It will take 5-6 min. Stir in the Baileys. Whisk the cream into a light foam in another bowl. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the egg mixture, so that you don’t knock out the air. Put the ice cream in a mold or container and freeze for 4-6 hours.
Warm chocolate fondant
Melt the chocolate and butter in a bain-marie. Stir until even and combined. Whisk the sugar and the two eggs together until fluffy. Fold in the flour. Then beat the two egg yolks into the chocolate mixture and fold the chocolate mixture carefully into egg mixture, without knocking too much air out of the batter. Grease 4 ramekins with butter. Then divide the batter between the ramekins and refrigerate for 1 hour. Heat the oven to 220 C convection and bake the cakes for 9-10 minutes. It’s really important that you keep an eye on them, so they don’t cook too much. They should be liquid inside, so it’s better to bake the cakes a little too little rather than too much.
Caramel sauce with Baileys Salted Caramel
Make just before serving: Melt the sugar in a thick-bottomed pot. Stir regularly with a wooden spoon so the sugar doesn’t burn. When all the sugar has melted and turned into a golden caramel, add the butter a little at a time and stir until melted. Take the pot off the heat, add the Baileys and stir into a thick, glossy caramel.
To serve
When the cakes are done, turn them out directly onto the plate on which they are to be served. Serve with a scoop of Baileys ice cream and pour the caramel sauce on top and garnish with fresh raspberries and chocolate Easter eggs. Enjoy!
