Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Sea salt
- Optional dippers (e.g., strawberries, banana slices, marshmallows, pretzels)
Instructions
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and heavy cream.
Microwave the mixture on medium power for 30 seconds, then stir thoroughly.
Continue microwaving in 15-second increments, stirring after each, until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth (about 60-90 seconds total, depending on your microwave).
Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of sea salt to enhance the flavor.
Transfer the chocolate fondue to a serving bowl and serve warm with your choice of dippers such as strawberries, banana slices, marshmallows, or pretzels.
If the chocolate starts to thicken as it cools, reheat it in the microwave for 10-15 seconds and stir well before serving.
