Craving a decadent dessert without hours at the stove? This white chocolate fondant comes together in 15 minutes flat (10 to prepare, 5 to cook) and bakes entirely in the microwave. A simple recipe for 6, perfect for when a sweet craving strikes without warning.
Why is this recipe so quick?
Unlike an oven-baked fondant, this one goes straight into the microwave on high power. That cuts the cooking time dramatically: just 5 to 7 minutes, versus the usual 20 to 30. The result is still meltingly soft at the center, with the mild, milky flavor that makes white chocolate what it is.
