Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 800 grams Dark chocolate or milk chocolate (high-quality, chopped)
- 120 ml Coconut oil or vegetable oil
Instructions
Ensure your chocolate fountain is clean and dry before starting.
In a large heatproof bowl, add the chopped chocolate.
Melt the chocolate using a double boiler. To do this, place the bowl over a pot of simmering water. Make sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Stir the chocolate continuously until fully melted and smooth.
Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate in the microwave. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and lump-free.
Once melted, add the coconut oil or vegetable oil to the chocolate. Stir thoroughly to combine. The oil helps the chocolate stay smooth and flow easily in the fountain.
Turn on the chocolate fountain and pour a small amount of the melted chocolate mixture into the base unit. Let it run for a few seconds to coat the internal mechanism.
Gradually pour the rest of the melted chocolate into the fountain base, ensuring it doesn't overflow. Let the fountain start its flow cycle.
Serve with a variety of dippable items such as strawberries, banana slices, marshmallows, pretzels, or cookies. Be sure to provide skewers or forks for easy dipping.
Monitor the chocolate fountain during use. Stir occasionally to prevent the chocolate from hardening, and add more melted chocolate or oil if needed to maintain a smooth flow.
Once finished, turn off the fountain and allow it to cool before cleaning.
