🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Get Ready: Chop your chocolate into small, uniform pieces. This helps it melt evenly. Trust me, nobody wants chunky fondue!
- Gentle Melt: In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium-low heat until it simmers gently. Don't let it boil, or you'll end up with a scalded mess.
- Chocolate Bath: Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the chopped chocolate. Let it sit for a minute to soften, then stir gently until completely melted and smooth. Be patient; it might take a few minutes.
- Flavor Boost (Optional): Stir in vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. The vanilla enhances the chocolate flavor, and the salt balances the sweetness. Feel free to experiment with other extracts like almond or peppermint!
- Fondue Time: Pour the melted chocolate into your fondue pot. If using a ceramic pot, preheat it gently to prevent cracking. Keep the fondue warm over a low heat source – a tea light or electric warmer works great. Don't crank up the heat too high; you don't want burnt chocolate!
- Dip & Enjoy: Arrange your dippers around the fondue pot. Get creative! Strawberries, marshmallows, pretzels, pound cake, apple slices – the sky's the limit. Use fondue forks to dip and enjoy the deliciousness. Be careful not to double-dip; nobody wants a fondue faux pas!
- Keep it Smooth: If the fondue starts to thicken, stir in a tablespoon of warm cream to restore its smooth consistency. And if it gets too thin, add a few more chocolate chips. Adjust as needed!
📝 Notes
- For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate.
- Add a tablespoon of your favorite liqueur for an extra kick.
