Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces (225 grams) good-quality dark chocolate, chopped into small pieces
- 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream, preferably fresh and cold
Instructions
- Chop the chocolate into small, even pieces to help it melt evenly without overheating.
- Pour 1 cup (240 ml) of heavy cream into a small saucepan and warm it over low heat until hot but not boiling, about 3-4 minutes.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately add the chopped chocolate to the warm cream.
- Let it sit for 1-2 minutes without stirring to allow the chocolate to soften gently.
- Stir the mixture slowly in small circles with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula until completely smooth and glossy.
- Pour the melted chocolate fondue into a warm fondue pot or heatproof bowl.
- Keep it warm by placing the bowl over a pan of warm water or using a tea light under a fondue pot if available.
- Serve immediately with your choice of dippers such as strawberries, marshmallows, or pound cake cubes.
Notes
Use quality chocolate with at least 60% cocoa for best flavor. Heat cream gently to avoid scorching. Let chocolate sit in warm cream before stirring to ensure smooth melting. Keep fondue warm during serving to maintain dippable consistency. For dairy-free option, substitute heavy cream with full-fat coconut cream.
