🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
Chop the chocolate: Finely chop the bittersweet and milk chocolate and place them in a heat-proof bowl. This ensures even melting.
Combine cream and butter: In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream and butter. Heat over medium heat until the butter is melted and the cream is simmering. Do not let it boil!
Pour over chocolate: Pour the hot cream mixture over the chopped chocolate. Let it sit for a minute to soften the chocolate.
Whisk until smooth: Gently whisk the chocolate and cream together until completely smooth and glossy. Take your time; don't rush this step! If there are some bits of chocolate that don't wanna melt, you can heat it slightly in a double boiler. Be careful not to burn it.
Add flavorings: Stir in the vanilla extract and the liqueur (if using). Mix well to combine.
Transfer to fondue pot: Pour the chocolate fondue into a fondue pot or slow cooker set to low. This will keep the fondue warm and melted.
Prepare dippers: Arrange your chosen dippers on a serving platter around the fondue pot.
Serve and enjoy: Let everyone dip and enjoy the decadent chocolate fondue! It is so easy to make it, even a toddler can do it (supervised, of course!)
