150 ml of warm water

MAKE THE GANCHE:
Heat (in the microwave or in a bowl over a pot of boiling water) until completed melted )stirring in between, then pour into an ice cube tray and freeze for at least 2 hours)
MAKE THE FONDANTS:
1. Preheat the oven to 180°C and grease 4 pudding ramekins and dust with a generous layer of cocoa powder.
2. In a large bowl sift the flour, cocoa powder, bicarbonate of soda and salt.
3. Stir in the dark brown sugar.
4. In a separate bowl combine the almond milk, sunflower oil, instant coffee, red wine vinegar, warm water and egg replacer.
5. Add the wet mixture to the dry mixer and whisk until completely combined.
6. Remove the ice cube tray from the freezer and remove the ganache cubes.
5. Pour the fondant mixture into the pudding ramekins (around 1/4 way full) then add the ganache cube on top.
7. Cover with more fondant mixture until just more than half way.
8. Place in the middle of the oven and bake for 12-14 minutes (do not open the oven in between)
9. Once baked remove from the oven and serve immediately: loosen the sides with a knife and flip onto a plate.
10. Then lift the ramekin and enjoy. I like to serve mine with some vegan vanilla ice cream from and a dusting of cocoa powder.
