🍽 Ingredients

• 4 oz Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1/4 cup Heavy cream

📖 Instructions

1. First things first, gather your ingredients and equipment. Make sure your chocolate is chopped into small pieces for easier melting. This part's crucial; otherwise, you'll end up with frustrating chocolate lumps.
2. If you're using a double boiler, carefully fill the bottom pan with about an inch of water and bring it to a simmer over medium heat. If not, use a heatproof bowl carefully set over a saucepan of simmering water. The water shouldn't touch the bottom of the bowl. Trust me on this one, its important!
3. Add your chopped chocolate to the top pan or bowl. Don't rush things! Let it melt slowly, stirring occasionally with a whisk for an extra smooth and glossy fondue. We're aiming for pure chocolate perfection, here!
4. Once the chocolate has mostly melted, slowly pour in the cream or milk. Whisk constantly until the mixture is completely smooth and glossy. If you encounter any lumps, keep whisking patiently; they'll eventually disappear. If you see any unmelted chocolate pieces, remove the bowl from the heat and let it sit for a few seconds before stirring it in carefully.
5. If you're using chocolate chips, add them to the melted chocolate and cream/milk mix. Stir constantly until they're completely incorporated, creating a lovely, uniform chocolatey sauce. I tend to avoid using chocolate chips altogether because the end texture tends to be slightly less silky. But if that's what you got then try to make the best out of it.
6. Transfer your glorious chocolate fondue to your fondue pot or a heatproof bowl. Place it over a low heat or a candle warmer to keep it at a perfect dipping temperature. The last thing you want is for your delicious fondue to harden up before you've even had a taste!
7. Now comes the best part – dipping! Arrange your fruit and other dippers around the fondue pot. Grab a fondue fork and get ready for an explosion of deliciousness! This is where the party begins. So invite friends!
8. Enjoy your amazing, homemade chocolate fondue! Don't forget to share your masterpiece with friends and family, as it's way more fun when shared with others. Also, dont forget to take that Instagram-worthy photo. The world needs to see this awesomeness!

📝 Notes

• For a richer fondue, use dark chocolate chips. For a sweeter fondue, use milk chocolate chips. Adjust the quantity of cream to get the desired consistency. You can add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor of the chocolate.
• Don't overcook the fondue, or it will become too thick. If it becomes too thick, add a teaspoon of cream or milk at a time, stirring until smooth.
• You can add vanilla extract or other flavorings to the fondue, such as orange zest or peppermint extract.
