Instructions

  1. Bring a saucepan of water to a gentle simmer and set a glass or metal bowl over the top to create a double boiler (do not let the water touch the bowl).
  2. Add heavy cream to bowl and heat until the cream feels hot to the touch (140 to 150 degrees). Add chocolate and whisk until smooth.
  3. Whisk in vanilla. Add salt to taste if desired. Transfer to a fondue pot and heat the fuel underneath to keep warm (keep the flame low). Serve with fruit or other sweets.

Notes

  • Fondue pot: I have and love this Cuisinart electric fondue pot. It's easy to use, a breeze to clean, and it works really well! It's the same one you see in the photos, and it comes with 8 skewers. The recipe is written for a stove-top version of fondue so anyone can make it.
  • Chocolate: For deep chocolate flavor, use a premium chocolate with at least 60% cacao. Or, substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  • Yield: This recipe makes about 4 cups (1 quart) chocolate fondue, enough for 16 servings, 1/4 cup each.
