Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams dark chocolate (at least 60% cocoa)
- 120 ml heavy cream
- 60 ml whole milk
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
- 300 grams fresh fruits (e.g., strawberries, bananas, apple slices)
- 150 grams marshmallows
- 150 grams small cake cubes (e.g., pound cake or brownies)
Instructions
Chop the dark chocolate into small, even pieces to ensure it melts smoothly.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the heavy cream and whole milk. Heat the mixture, stirring frequently, until it is warm but not boiling.
Add the chopped chocolate to the warm milk and cream mixture. Stir gently and continuously until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
Add the butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir until the butter is completely melted and the fondue is well combined.
Transfer the chocolate fondue to a warmed fondue pot or heatproof serving bowl. Keep it warm over a low flame or with a tealight candle, if using a fondue setup.
Prepare your dippers: arrange fresh fruits, marshmallows, and cake cubes on a serving platter.
Serve the chocolate fondue immediately, with skewers or fondue forks for dipping. Stir occasionally to maintain a smooth texture.
