Cut the cake into pieces, serve with the custard and decorate with chocolate chips.

The “fondant au chocolat” comes in countless variations and with almost as many names. One time the recipe calls for a little more sugar, another time a little less butter. The only important thing is to resist the temptation to make it into a light pastry. This would be unforgivable and would destroy the whole charm. To reduce the number of calories, only one way is recommended: smaller butts.
