This luscious chocolate fondue recipe is a delightful treat perfect for sharing among friends and family. Made with semisweet or dark chocolate melted smoothly with creamy heavy cream and infused with vanilla, it’s an irresistible dipping experience. Serve it warm with fresh fruits, marshmallows, and cake pieces to enjoy a sweet and interactive dessert that brings joy to any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Fondue

  • 8 oz semisweet or dark chocolate, chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Dippers

  • Fresh fruits (strawberries, bananas, apples)
  • Marshmallows
  • Biscotti or pound cake, cut into bite-sized pieces

Instructions

  1. Chop Chocolate: Start by chopping the chocolate into small, even pieces to ensure they melt smoothly and evenly during cooking.
  2. Heat Cream: Pour the heavy cream into a saucepan and heat it over medium heat just until it begins to simmer, being careful not to let it boil.
  3. Combine Chocolate and Cream: Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately add the chopped chocolate to the hot cream.
  4. Stir Mixture: Stir continuously until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy without any lumps.
  5. Add Flavorings: Mix in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt, stirring well to incorporate the flavors evenly.
  6. Transfer to Fondue Pot: Pour the warm chocolate mixture into a fondue pot to keep it at the ideal dipping temperature.
  7. Serve with Dippers: Arrange fresh fruits, marshmallows, and pieces of biscotti or pound cake on a platter for dipping into the chocolate fondue and enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • Use good quality chocolate for best flavor and smooth texture.
  • Do not let the cream boil; simmering is enough to melt the chocolate without seizing.
  • If the chocolate mixture thickens too much, gently reheat with a splash of cream.
  • Substitute heavy cream with coconut cream for a dairy-free variation, though the texture may vary.
  • Always stir until smooth to avoid grainy texture.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the perfect dipping consistency.
