Ideal for gatherings or romantic nights in, this easy homemade chocolate fondue pairs indulgence with elegance, ensuring a crowd-pleasing dessert thatβs as fun to eat as it is to prepare.
Rinse the strawberries thoroughly and pat them dry with a paper towel. If desired, sprinkle them lightly with granulated sugar for extra sweetness. Set aside.
Chop the dark chocolate into small, even pieces to ensure it melts quickly and evenly.
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium-low heat until it begins to steam. Do not let it boil.
Reduce the heat to low, and add the chopped dark chocolate to the saucepan. Stir gently with a whisk or silicone spatula until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
Add the unsalted butter and vanilla extract to the mixture, stirring until fully incorporated. The butter will give the fondue a glossy finish and creamy texture.
Transfer the warm chocolate mixture to a fondue pot or heatproof serving bowl to keep it warm during serving.
Serve the warm chocolate fondue with the prepared strawberries, allowing guests to dip the strawberries into the chocolate. Optionally, provide skewers or fondue forks for easier dipping.
