Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup pure maple syrup
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon cold water
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the pure maple syrup, heavy cream, and butter.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir gently as the ingredients melt together.
Allow the mixture to come to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to ensure the ingredients are fully incorporated and do not stick to the pan.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with cold water, stirring until it forms a smooth slurry.
Once the maple mixture is simmering, reduce the heat to low and stir in the cornstarch slurry. Continue stirring for 1-2 minutes, or until the fondue thickens slightly.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract for added flavor.
Transfer the warm fondue into a heat-safe fondue pot or bowl if serving immediately. Keep it warm using a fondue burner or tea candle.
Serve with an assortment of dippable items, like fresh fruits (apple slices, strawberries, or bananas), cubed pound cake, marshmallows, or pretzel sticks.
