Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams dark chocolate (at least 60% cocoa)
- 120 milliliters heavy cream
- 60 milliliters whole milk
- 15 grams unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt (optional)
- 500 grams assorted fruits and dippers (e.g., strawberries, bananas, marshmallows, pretzels, cubes of pound cake)
Instructions
Chop the dark chocolate into small, even pieces to ensure it melts evenly. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream and whole milk. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is warm but not boiling.
Reduce the heat to low and slowly add the chopped chocolate to the saucepan. Stir gently with a whisk or spatula until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
Add the unsalted butter and continue stirring until the butter is fully incorporated, which will help give the fondue a silky texture.
Stir in the vanilla extract and sea salt (if using) to enhance the flavor.
Transfer the chocolate mixture to a fondue pot or heatproof bowl placed over a tea light or warming element to keep it warm and smooth during serving.
Arrange the assorted fruits and dippers on a serving platter around the fondue pot. Provide long fondue forks or skewers for dipping.
Enjoy dipping your dippers into the warm, silky chocolate fondue for a delightful dessert experience!
