Description
A warm and inviting chocolate fondue perfect for dipping fresh fruit, marshmallows, and cookies, creating a cozy atmosphere for gatherings.
Ingredients
Fondue Base
- 8 oz semi-sweet chocolate, chopped (Use chocolate you enjoy eating.)
- 1 cup heavy cream (Can substitute with full-fat coconut milk for a dairy-free option.)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Dippers
- 1 cup fresh fruit (strawberries, bananas, apples) (Cut fruit into pieces for easy dipping.)
- 1 cup marshmallows (Adds a fluffy texture.)
- 1 cup cookies or cake cubes (Pound cake or hearty cookies work well.)
Instructions
Preparation
- In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it starts to simmer.
- Remove from heat and add the chopped chocolate, stirring until melted and smooth.
- Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Transfer the chocolate mixture to a fondue pot or a heat-safe bowl.
- Serve with dippers like fresh fruit, marshmallows, and cookies. Enjoy!
Serving
- Pause before you serve. Give the chocolate a final stir for a glossy finish.
- If the chocolate looks thick, add a splash of warm cream to loosen it.
- If it’s thin, let it sit a minute; it will thicken slightly as it cools.
Notes
Store leftovers in a covered container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Warm gently to reheat, adding a splash of cream if necessary. Use skewers or long forks for easy dipping.
