Notes
- If you notice your fondue happens to be separating, try reheating while whisking.
- If this doesn't seem to be doing anything, add in a little more cornstarch dissolved in a touch of cold water. Continue heating and mixing and this should correct it and bring it back to all its smooth and creamy glory.
