Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3 cups fruits of your choice (e.g., strawberries, bananas, apple slices, pineapple chunks)
Instructions
In a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and the heavy cream.
Heat the mixture in the microwave on medium power for 30-second increments, stirring after each session, until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth (approximately 1-2 minutes total).
Once the chocolate is melted, stir in the unsalted butter, pure vanilla extract, and kosher salt until fully incorporated.
Transfer the chocolate dip to a serving bowl. Let it cool slightly to thicken, about 2 minutes.
Serve the dip warm with an assortment of fresh fruits for dipping. For best presentation, arrange the fruits around the dip on a serving platter.
