📖 Instructions

1. Gather Your Ingredients: Make sure you have all the ingredients measured out and ready to go. There is nothing worse than finding out halfway through that you're missing something!
2. Chop the Chocolate: Roughly chop the dark chocolate into smaller pieces. This helps it melt more evenly and prevents scorching.
3. Combine Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped dark chocolate, cashew butter, heavy cream, and a pinch of sea salt.
4. Melt Over Low Heat: Place the saucepan over the lowest heat setting on your stove. Stir continuously with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon to prevent burning.
5. Stir Until Smooth: Continue stirring until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy. This may take about 5-7 minutes.
6. Adjust Consistency: If the fondue is too thick, add a tablespoon of heavy cream at a time until it reaches your desired consistency. If it's too thin, simmer for a minute or two, stirring constantly, until it thickens slightly.
7. Transfer to Fondue Pot: Carefully pour the melted chocolate fondue into a fondue pot or a heat-safe bowl set over a tea light or warming plate.
8. Keep Warm: If using a fondue pot, adjust the heat to keep the chocolate warm and melted but not boiling.
9. Prepare Dippers: Arrange your dippers around the fondue pot. Some great options include fresh strawberries, banana slices, apple wedges, marshmallows, brownie bites, and pretzels.
10. Dip and Enjoy: Use fondue forks or skewers to dip your chosen items into the chocolate fondue. Twirl them gently to coat evenly, then let the excess chocolate drip off before indulging.
