Due to a nut allergy changed the almond meal to spelt flour 1 cup and omitted normal flour to 3/4 cup SR flour and was a hit with friends. Will definitely make again.Tha

Hi Alex, we haven’t tested this so we can’t guarantee it will turn out the same. Let us know how you go! The DH Team.

Could you make these ahead and freeze and Reheat?  Maybe cook for only 20 mins the first time.  Would this Work?

Beautiful and very easy

I used 1/3 cup caster sugar instead of icing sugar and that new Cadbury chocolate (dark and milk combined). I also forgot to add a square of chocolate in each fondant but it still turned out beautifully. Next time I won’t add any sugar at all as the Cadbury chocolate was sweet enough. My husband is very fussy with desserts but he absolutely loved this. I know how to make the classic fondant using 8 eggs but this is much more cost and time efficient with similar results. One thing I noticed however was the texture was between that of a friand and a fondant. Perfect with icecream or cream. Thanks Donna Hay.
