Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup pure maple syrup
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp cold water
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream and maple syrup over medium heat. Stir frequently to prevent the mixture from scorching.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and reduce the heat to low.
Cut the cream cheese into small cubes and add them to the saucepan, stirring until completely melted and smooth.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and cold water together until a slurry forms. Slowly pour the slurry into the saucepan while stirring continuously.
Continue to simmer the fondue mixture for 2-3 minutes, or until it thickens to your desired consistency.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt for extra flavor balance.
Transfer the fondue to a fondue pot or a heatproof bowl and keep it warm using a fondue burner or tea light.
Serve immediately with sliced fruits, marshmallows, cubes of cake or pastry, or any dipper of your choice.
