Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
- 120 ml heavy cream
- 15 grams unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 1 tablespoon orange liqueur (e.g., Grand Marnier or Cointreau)
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 pinch pinch of sea salt
- 1 plate assorted fruits and treats (e.g., strawberries, banana slices, marshmallows, cookies, or pretzels)
Instructions
Chop the dark chocolate into small, even pieces to ensure it melts smoothly. Set it aside.
In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, warm the heavy cream until it just starts to steam (do not let it boil).
Reduce the heat to low and add the chopped dark chocolate to the saucepan. Stir gently with a heatproof spatula or whisk until the chocolate melts completely and the mixture is smooth.
Once the chocolate is fully incorporated, add the unsalted butter, orange zest, orange liqueur, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir until the butter is melted and all ingredients are well combined.
Transfer the chocolate mixture to a fondue pot or a heat-safe serving bowl. Keep it warm over a low flame or tea light in the fondue pot to maintain the smooth texture.
Serve immediately with an assortment of fruits and treats for dipping. Enjoy your Chocolatier Dark Chocolate Orange Fondue!
