Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces dark chocolate (finely chopped)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 pinch sea salt
- 1 assorted plate optional toppings (e.g., strawberries, bananas, marshmallows, pretzels, cookies)
Instructions
Finely chop the dark chocolate and place it in a heatproof bowl. Ensure the chocolate is evenly cut to promote smooth melting.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream and butter. Heat until the mixture just begins to simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.
Once the cream mixture is hot, remove it from the heat and pour it evenly over the chopped chocolate in the heatproof bowl.
Let the mixture sit undisturbed for 2-3 minutes to allow the chocolate to begin melting.
Using a whisk or a spatula, gently stir the mixture until smooth and completely blended. Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of sea salt, stirring well to enhance the flavor.
Transfer the melted chocolate mixture to a fondue pot or a heatproof serving dish to keep it warm and ready for dipping.
Arrange your dipping items (e.g., strawberries, banana slices, marshmallows, pretzels, cookies) on a platter around the chocolate fondue.
Serve the fondue immediately and enjoy dipping your favorite treats into the luscious chocolate!
