[main recipe page]

categories: [dessert] [french]

12 ounces of dark chocolate (chips or roughly chopped if from a block)

8 ounces of heavy cream

A pinch of salt

Dippables such as strawberries, banana pieces cut into 1-inch chunks, dried appricots, candied ginger, apple pieces

  • Warm the cream over moderate heat until tiny bubbles show and begins to lightly and slowly boil. Add the chocolate and whisk until smooth and full incorporated.

  • Immediately transfer to a fondue pot heated at low or with a low flame, or serve straight from the pot.

  • Arrange the dippables on a platter or plates around the chocolate pot. Use a fondue fork, bamboo skewer, seafood fork, or salad fork to dip the fruit pieces and other dippables into the hot melted cream chocolate mixture. Eat immediately.

  • If the fondue begins to feel a little stiff, add a tablespoon of heavy cream and stir. It will help it go a little longer. Eventually, it will cook down though and you may need to start a new pot.
