Ingredients

For the fondue

18 oz chocolate Chopped combination of milk, semi-sweet, and dark chocolate for depth in flavor.

Method

Preparation

In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped chocolate and whipping cream.
Stir gently over medium heat until the chocolate is completely melted—avoid letting it boil!
Once melted, add the vanilla extract.
If the mixture feels a bit too thick, drizzle in more cream until you reach that perfect, smooth dipping consistency.
Pour the melted chocolate into a fondue pot or a heat-safe serving bowl.

Notes

Chocolate fondue is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container. To reheat, gently warm it in the microwave or over low heat, adding a splash of cream as needed. For creative twists, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or espresso for a unique flavor.
