Photo: Chocolate Fondue Recipe
Ingredients
Utensils:
- 1 saucepan
- 1 mixing bowl (that will sit on top of saucepan)
- Measuring cup
- Measuring spoons
- Whisk
- Fondue serving set
- Fondue skewers
- Handy fuel or denatured alcohol
Ingredients:
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 pound premium semisweet chocolate (recommended: Lindt or Callebaut)
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon brandy
- Strawberries, bananas, pineapple, brownies, marshmallow, cookies, or any other dipping item of your choice
Directions
Put approximately 4 inches of water in the saucepan and bring to a slow boil. Place the mixing bowl on top and pour in the heavy cream; let heat. Meanwhile, break up or chop chocolate into small pieces. When the cream feels hot to the touch, add chocolate and whisk until smooth. Whisk in vanilla and brandy.
Pour into the fondue pot and light the handy fuel underneath; keep the flame low as not to burn the fondue. Arrange strawberries, bananas, pineapple, brownies, marshmallow, cookies or any of your favorite items on a platter and enjoy.

Easy and awesome!! We used 1/2 milk chocolate and 1/2 dark chocolate chips. We used Grand Marnier instead of brandy. This was the best fondue we've made. It went sooo well with strawberries and angel food cake. Our guests were all in chocolate heaven. We'll use this recipe from now on for our fondue.

This is a great, quick recipe that still tastes wonderful. We usually do fondue on holidays and special family nights, and I'm always a bit pressed for time. This recipe cooks up so fast, and I can do it mostly straight out of the pantry. I do substitute half and half for the whipping cream unless I really want to splurge!

The outcome is a very rich and smooth. We cut the recipe in half because it seemed like a lot for the two of us and even then we had a TON left over. We decided that cutting it in half for four people would still yeild left over chocolate. I also found that it was almost too rich, I may do half milk chocolate and half semi-sweet chocolate. Overall it is a great base recipe to make adjustments and improve upon.
