Silky melted chocolate paired with fresh fruit and marshmallows, perfect for sharing on a cozy evening.
# Ingredient List:
→ Chocolate Fondue
01 - 5 ounces high-quality dark chocolate (at least 60% cocoa), chopped
02 - 1/4 cup heavy cream
03 - 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
04 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
05 - Pinch of sea salt
→ Dippers
06 - 1 banana, peeled and sliced
07 - 6–8 large strawberries, hulled
08 - 1 kiwi, peeled and cut into chunks
09 - 1 small apple, cored and sliced
10 - 8–10 large marshmallows
11 - 1 handful seedless grapes
12 - 1 small orange, peeled and segmented
# How to Make:
01 - In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the chopped chocolate, heavy cream, and butter. Stir gently until melted and smooth, ensuring the chocolate does not scorch.
02 - Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and sea salt until fully incorporated.
03 - Pour the chocolate mixture into a fondue pot or heatproof bowl. Keep warm over a tea light or low heat source if available to maintain dipping consistency.
04 - Arrange all the fruit and marshmallows on a serving platter for easy access.
05 - Using fondue forks or skewers, dip fruit and marshmallows into the warm chocolate and enjoy immediately while the chocolate remains fluid.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- Twenty minutes from start to dipping, but it tastes like you spent hours planning something special
- The contrast of bittersweet chocolate with sweet fruit and pillowy marshmallows hits every craving at once
02 -
- Never let water near your melting chocolate, even a drop can make it seize into a grainy, unhappy mess that no amount of stirring can fix.
- The fondue will thicken as it cools, so plan to dip within twenty minutes or have a low heat source ready to keep it at that perfect pourable consistency.
03 -
- Chop your chocolate into uniform pieces before you start melting, because uneven chunks mean some pieces burn while others stay stubbornly solid.
- If your fondue does start to thicken too much, whisk in a teaspoon of warm cream one drop at a time until it smooths out again.
