Photo: Chocolate Fondue Recipe
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream, reserve 1/4 cup to thin if fondue begins to thicken
- 4 bittersweet chocolate bars, chopped, 3 1/2 ounces each
- 2 tablespoons Frangelico or Amaretto liqueur, optional
- 1/4 cup finely chopped hazelnuts or almonds, optional
Suggested Dippables, choose 3 or 4 selections of the following:
- Hazelnut or almond biscotti
- Salted pretzel sticks
- Cubed pound cake
- Sliced bananas
- Stem strawberries
- Sectioned navel oranges
- Ripe fresh diced pineapple
Directions
Heat 1/2 cup cream in a heavy non-reactive saucepot over moderate heat until cream comes to a low boil. Remove the pan from the heat and add chocolate. Let the chocolate stand in hot cream 3 to 5 minutes to soften, then whisk chocolate together with the cream. Stir in liqueur and/or chopped nuts and transfer the fondue to a fondue pot or set the mixing bowl on a rack above a small lit candle. If fondue becomes too thick, stir in reserved cream, 1 tablespoon at a time, to desired consistency. Arrange your favorite dippables in piles on a platter along side chocolate fondue with fondue forks, bamboo skewers or seafood forks, as utensils, for dipping.

It was a simple and delicious recipe, once I realized the chocolate quantity should be 3.5 ounces *TOTAL*, not per bar. So, the first time through was a disaster. Second time, worked like a charm.

YUM!! We used Callebaut semisweet callets (small discs that I found at Whole Foods, added Frangelico, and made it in a fondue pot. Absolutely perfect. We tried earlier with 72% dark chocolate and it was much too rich for us.

Our family Christmas meal theme for 2010 is French Foods and we all love fondu with cakes & fruit. I modified this recipe using 10 TBS cocoa, 10 TBS powered sugar with 3 TBS butter replacing the bittersweet chocolate. Amaretto liqueur adds softness to the strong chocolate mixture. Tripling the recipe will serve a dozen people.
