Description
A delicious and creamy chocolate fondue perfect for dipping fruits and cookies.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate (chopped into small pieces)
- 4 ounces milk chocolate (chopped into small pieces)
- 1/2 to 3/4 cup whole milk (depending on thickness preference, I use 1/2 cup)
- 1–1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- to taste Flaky sea salt (for topping, optional)
- as needed Fresh fruit (such as bananas, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, clementines, etc.)
- as needed Cookies (Oreos, Pirouette cookies, Milanos)
Instructions
- Start by preparing all the ingredients/treats you will be dipping in the fondue. Making the fondue goes quickly, so you want to have all the treats and skewers (if using) ready!
- To make the fondue, in a small bowl, combine the chocolate, 1/2 cup milk, and butter (if using) and melt gently in a barely simmering water bath or microwave on medium (50 percent) power for about 2 minutes.
- Stir until completely smooth.
- Add more milk if desired. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla and salt.
- Serve this warm fondue immediately with whatever you’ve chosen for serving.
- If the fondue gets too thick (or starts to harden), reheat in the microwave in bursts of 15 seconds, stirring between each burst for 10 seconds until melted and smooth again.
Notes
- Note 1: The butter is optional and adds richness to the fondue.
