A simple recipe for decadent chocolate fondue perfect for parties or a romantic dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Place the chopped chocolate in a medium, heatproof bowl.
  2. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer around the edges. Do not let it boil rapidly.
  3. Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate. Let it sit undisturbed for 5 minutes to allow the chocolate to melt.
  4. Add the butter, vanilla extract, and salt to the bowl.
  5. Whisk the mixture gently, starting from the center and moving outward, until the sauce is completely smooth and velvety.
  6. Transfer the fondue to a small pot or fondue warmer set over low heat to keep it melted while serving.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, substitute 1/4 cup of the heavy cream with strong brewed coffee or espresso.
  • If the fondue becomes too thick, whisk in a teaspoon of milk or cream until the desired consistency is reached.
  • Keep the heat low to prevent the chocolate from scorching or seizing.
