I'll never forget one chilly December evening. My family had gathered for our annual holiday get-together, and I wanted to surprise them with something extra special. Instead of the usual desserts, I decided to experiment with a unique fondue recipe that would be both comforting and a little bit adventurous. Thus, the Kamut Kiss Fondue was born! It's a chocolate fondue, but with a twist.
I know what you're thinking: 'Kamut in fondue? Really?' Trust me on this one. Kamut, an ancient grain, adds a delightful nutty flavor and a surprisingly pleasant texture to the rich, melted chocolate. When combined with warm spices like cinnamon and nutmeg, and a hint of orange liqueur, it creates a symphony of flavors that will dance on your taste buds. I messed it up the first time, but that’s how we learn right!?
The best part about this fondue is how versatile it is. You can dip anything your heart desires – fresh fruits, marshmallows, biscotti, or even chunks of pound cake. It's perfect for cozy nights in, festive gatherings, or any occasion that calls for a touch of sweetness and warmth. And let’s be honest, who doesn’t love dipping things into melted chocolate? It's interactive, fun, and creates an atmosphere of shared joy.

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Begin by gently melting the chocolate: In a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water (or using a double boiler), combine the chopped dark chocolate and milk chocolate. Stir occasionally until the chocolate is completely smooth and melted. Make sure the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water.
- Add the heavy cream and honey: Once the chocolate is melted, stir in the heavy cream and honey. Mix until everything is well combined and the mixture is smooth and glossy. This will give your fondue that perfect, velvety texture.
- Incorporate the Kamut and spices: Now, stir in the cooked kamut. Add the cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of sea salt. These spices will add warmth and depth to your fondue, making it irresistible. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
- Add a touch of Liqueur: If using, stir in the orange liqueur. This will add a lovely aroma and a subtle citrus note that complements the chocolate beautifully. Be careful not to add too much, as it can overpower the other flavors.
- Transfer to the fondue pot: Pour the chocolate mixture into your fondue pot. If using an electric pot, set it to the lowest heat setting to keep the fondue warm without burning. If using a traditional pot with a burner, be sure to use a low flame and stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Arrange your dippers: Arrange your favorite dippers around the fondue pot. Fresh fruits like strawberries, bananas, and apple slices are always a hit. You can also use marshmallows, biscotti, or chunks of pound cake. Get creative and offer a variety of options for your guests to enjoy.
- Fondue Time: Instruct your guests to use fondue forks or skewers to dip their chosen items into the chocolate. Twirl gently to coat the dipper evenly, then let any excess chocolate drip off before enjoying. Be sure to provide small plates for guests to place their dipped treats.
- Keep Warm and Stir: Keep your Kamut Kiss Fondue warm over very low heat, stirring occasionally to maintain a smooth consistency. If it becomes too thick, stir in a tablespoon of warm milk or cream to thin it out. If it's too thin, add a few more pieces of chopped chocolate and stir until melted.
- Serve and enjoy: Let everyone dive in and enjoy the warm, decadent goodness of your Kamut Kiss Fondue. This is a great opportunity to create lasting memories with your loved ones.
