Hello darlings,
As Valentine’s day is quickly approaching, I thought I’d share my favorite chocolate fondue recipe! Today also happens to be National Chocolate Fondue day, so, that worked out well.
First of all, doesn’t everyone love chocolate? There is something so sensual about rich, melted chocolate. Perfect for a romantic night in with your love. If you need more convincing, chocolate has a compound called phenylethylamine (PEA) that releases the same mood-altering endorphins that flood our body while we have sex.
And this just tastes soooooo good.
The Best Chocolate Fondue
Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 1 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 12-13 ounces of good quality chocolate. I used Lindt. 2 milk chocolate and 1 dark chocolate bar. Chopped into small pieces
- 1 tbsp brandy
- 1 tbsp vanilla
Instructions
Directions:
- Fill a medium-large pan with 3 inches of water. Place a bowl (metal or glass. I use metal as it's lighter and easier to lift when needed) on top of the pot with water. This is what we call the double broiler method. If you have a double broiler pot, more power to you! But the bowl method works perfect.
- Pour the cream into the bowl and let warm. This will take a solid 5 minutes. Whisk occasionally.
- Once cream is warm, add the chocolate pieces and begin whisking.
- When chocolate begins to melt, add the brandy and vanilla. Whisk and let combine. We want it warm!
- Pour your chocolate fondue into the top bowl of a fondue pot. If you don't have one, it's okay. You can totally pour it into a saucepan and heat it up, while whisking, if it starts to cool down. You can also buy a small fondue pot on amazon for like $25 and up. So they're very affordable!
Arrange whatever dippers you want! I used strawberries, pineapple and marshmallows. Sponge cake cubes would be delicious too but try to limit the amount of carby baked goods as that reverses the effects of the chocolate if you know what I’m saying. hehe
Give this a go, you guys! I’m linking some fondue pots below.
