Equipment
- 1 Fondue Pot
- 1 Saucepan
- 1 Wooden Spoon or Whisk
- 1 Knife
- 1 Heatproof Bowl
- Serving Platter or Plate
- Skewers or Fondue Forks
- Measuring Spoons
Ingredients
- 200 g 70% dark chocolate, chopped
- 100 g heavy cream
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt
- Fresh fruit for dipping (strawberries, bananas, etc.) 🍓🍌
- Marshmallows 🍡
- Cookies or pretzels 🍪
Instructions
- Prepare the Chocolate:Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces. This helps the chocolate melt evenly and smoothly.
- Heat the Cream:In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it’s just about to simmer. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
- Melt the Chocolate:Once the cream is heated, remove it from the heat. Add the chopped chocolate into the cream and stir until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth. Add butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt, and stir until fully incorporated.
- Serve in a Fondue Pot:Pour the melted chocolate mixture into a fondue pot to keep it warm. If you don’t have a fondue pot, use a heatproof bowl and set it over a candle or tea light.
- Dip and Enjoy:Arrange fruits, marshmallows, and cookies around the fondue pot. Dip them into the warm chocolate, coating them in gooey goodness. Enjoy and share the sweet moments!
Notes
- Use high-quality chocolate for a richer flavor.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less butter or vanilla extract, depending on your preference.
- Feel free to mix in a little liqueur, like Grand Marnier, for an adult twist! 🍹
