Ingredients

Fondue:

1/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 1/4 cups heavy cream
1 1/4 cups milk
2 tablespoons fresh-ground coffee
1/2 teaspoon ground Ceylon cinnamon or canela
1 vanilla bean, split
7 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
3 tablespoons unsalted butter

Dippers:

Regular bananas
Small bananas, like Manzano or red
Strawberries, with stem
Marshmallows
Toasted cubes pound cake
Pineapple chunks
Anjou or Bartlett pear slices, unpeeled
Fried wonton wrappers
Bing cherries, with stem

Directions

Equipment: Fondue pot; fondue forks or wooden or metal skewers

In a bowl, whisk together the sugar and cornstarch to blend. Slowly whisk in the cream; then the milk, coffee, cinnamon, and vanilla. Pour the mixture into a stainless steel saucepan and gently bring it to a boil. Cook, whisking, until thickened, about 4 minutes.

Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the chocolate and butter until melted. Using a fine-meshed sieve over a large bowl, strain the chocolate mixture and discard the solids. Pour into a warmed fondue pot and serve with assorted dippers and fondue forks.

Wow....
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this fondue last night as part of a Cinco de Mayo menu and my guests raved about it. I couldn't find a whole vanilla... bean so I had to substitute a (good) vanilla extract. Also, I don't have a fine mesh sieve so I used what I had but even with a few coffee grounds in the fondue, it was very well received. I will definitely be making it again.Read more

This was the best chocolate fondue I've ever eaten! We ate the leftovers cold as a really great pudding!
