Method
- Start by roughly chopping your semi-sweet chocolate into smaller pieces; this helps it melt evenly. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, pour in the heavy cream. Stir gently until the cream begins to steam but do not let it boil.
- Once the cream is warm, reduce the heat to low and add the chopped chocolate to the saucepan. Stir continuously using a silicone spatula, allowing the chocolate to melt into a velvety, glossy mixture.
- When the chocolate is fully melted, stir in a teaspoon of vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
- If using a fondue pot, pour the melted chocolate into it and keep it warm. Alternatively, use a heatproof bowl placed over a pot of simmering water to maintain its liquid state.
- Prepare an array of dippables: sliced strawberries, bananas, apples, pretzels, fluffy marshmallows, and cubes of pound cake. Arrange them beautifully around your fondue setup, and let the fun of dipping commence!
