Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 cups dipping items (e.g., strawberries, bananas, marshmallows, cookies, pretzels)
Instructions
Place the chocolate chips and heavy cream in a heat-safe bowl.
Fill a medium-sized saucepan with 1-2 inches of water and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
Set the heat-safe bowl over the saucepan (make sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water) to create a double boiler.
Stir the chocolate and cream constantly until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth, about 3-5 minutes.
Remove the bowl from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt for enhanced flavor.
Transfer the chocolate fondue to a fondue pot or serve immediately in a heat-safe bowl.
Serve with your choice of dipping items such as fresh fruits, marshmallows, or cookies.
