Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
- 120 ml Heavy cream
- 15 grams Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
- 250 grams Strawberries (for dipping)
- 2 pieces Bananas (sliced, for dipping)
- 150 grams Marshmallows (for dipping)
- 200 grams Pound cake (cubed, for dipping)
Instructions
Chop the dark chocolate into small, even pieces to ensure it melts evenly.
In a medium saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium-low heat until it just begins to steam, but do not let it boil.
Reduce the heat to low and add the chopped chocolate to the saucepan. Stir gently with a silicone spatula until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
Stir in the unsalted butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until fully incorporated and glossy.
Transfer the chocolate mixture to a fondue pot or a heatproof bowl placed over a tea light or small flame to keep it warm.
Arrange the strawberries, banana slices, marshmallows, and pound cake cubes on a serving platter.
Serve the chocolate fondue with fondue forks or skewers for dipping and enjoy immediately. Stir the chocolate occasionally to prevent it from thickening as it cools.
