What is Fondue?
The fondue experience is a social experience. Think roasting marshmallows over a fire, but a thousand times better! For chocolate fondue, we set out a tray of fruit, candies, and cookies. One dip in the fondue, and a piece of fruit suddenly becomes a little piece of chocolate heaven.
Chocolate Fondue Ingredients
Sweet chocolate and heavy cream. That’s it! Just these two ingredients create a chocolaty fondue that is to die for! No need for liqueur or other added ingredients. This recipe is perfect in its simplicity and tastes smooth and rich. Because this recipe is so easy, you can make it over and over for different occasions, or even for a weeknight surprise.
The Best Type of Chocolate to Use for Fondue
For this recipe, we like using quality milk chocolate chips. They melt easily and taste delicious! However, if you prefer a less sweet flavor, try Baker’s Semi-Sweet Baking Chocolate, semi-sweet chocolate chips, or dark chocolate chips. It’s all up to you. And if you love peanut butter, see the recipe card below for details on how to make peanut butter chocolate fondue. So yummy!
Fondue with Heavy Cream
Heavy whipping cream is the other key ingredient in this two-ingredient fondue. Using heavy cream allows for a deliciously smooth texture and unbelievable flavor. If the chocolate seems too thick, add a bit more cream to the mixture. You’ll never have lumps or separation with this recipe. It’s deliciously perfect!
