Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
- 150 milliliters heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 100 grams fresh raspberries
- 100 grams fresh blackberries

- 150 grams fresh strawberries, halved
- 1 medium apple fresh apple slices

Instructions
Chop the dark chocolate into small, even pieces and set aside.
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium-low heat until it just begins to simmer. Avoid letting it come to a full boil.
Reduce the heat to low and add the chopped dark chocolate to the saucepan. Stir continuously with a spoon or whisk until the chocolate is fully melted and combined with the cream, forming a smooth, glossy mixture.
Add the unsalted butter, honey, and vanilla extract to the chocolate mixture. Stir well until the butter is melted and everything is fully incorporated.
Transfer the chocolate fondue mixture to a fondue pot and set it over a low flame or keep warm as per the fondue pot instructions.
Wash and pat dry all the fresh fruits. Halve the strawberries and slice the apple and pear into thin, even wedges. Arrange the fruits on a serving platter.
Provide wooden skewers or fondue forks for dipping. Encourage guests to dip the fresh forest fruits into the warm chocolate fondue and enjoy this indulgent treat!
