Ingredients
  

For the dipping fondue chocolate:
  • 1 cup 8 ounces heavy cream
  • Pinch salt
  • 12 ounces milk or dark chocolate chips or roughly chopped bar
For dipping:
  • Strawberries
  • Banana pieces cut into 1-inch chunks
  • Dried apricots
  • Apple slices
  • Candied ginger

Equipment

  • Small saucepan or Dutch oven
  • Whisk
  • Fondue pot (or heatproof serving pot)
  • Fondue forks or bamboo skewers
  • Serving platter or plates

Method
 

  1. Pour the heavy cream into a small saucepan and add a pinch of salt.
  2. Heat it over medium heat until you see tiny bubbles forming around the edges and the cream starts to gently simmer. Do not let it boil.
  3. Add the chocolate right away and whisk until fully melted, smooth, and glossy.
  4. Transfer the melted chocolate to a fondue pot set on low heat, or serve it directly from the saucepan while warm.
  5. Arrange all the fruits and other dippables on plates or a platter around the chocolate.
  6. Use fondue forks, skewers, or regular forks to dip the fruit and treats into the warm chocolate. Eat immediately.
  7. Stir in 1 tablespoon of heavy cream to loosen it.
  8. If it thickens too much after a long time, it’s best to make a fresh batch.
