🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients: Chop your strawberries, cube your brownies, and gather all your dipping items in attractive bowls or plates. Presentation counts!
- Melt the chocolate: In a heat-safe bowl set over a simmering pot of water (double boiler method), combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips, and heavy cream. Make sure the bowl doesn't touch the water to prevent burning. If you don't have a double boiler, a microwave can be used in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until melted.
- Stir constantly: Gently stir the chocolate mixture until it's smooth and glossy. This might take a few minutes, so be patient. The secret is to keep the heat low and stir frequently to avoid burning the chocolate. If using a microwave, use a spatula. Spatulas work better.
- Add flavor (optional): Stir in the vanilla extract for a hint of flavor. If you're feeling adventurous, you can also add a tablespoon of your favorite liqueur, such as rum or Grand Marnier. Or just a pinch of espresso powder. That adds a rich touch.
- Transfer to fondue pot: Pour the melted chocolate into your fondue pot. If you don't have a fondue pot, you can use a small slow cooker or keep the chocolate in the heat-safe bowl over the simmering water. The key is to keep the chocolate warm and melted. The one I have is heart shaped – perfect!
- Keep warm: If using a fondue pot, light the burner underneath to keep the chocolate warm. Be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions for your specific fondue pot. Or you could use one of those electric ones. Those are great for temperature control.
- Serve and enjoy: Arrange your dipping items around the fondue pot and let the dipping begin! Encourage your guests to experiment with different combinations and savor the moment. Don’t be afraid to double-dip; it’s your fondue party!
- Clean up: After enjoying, let the fondue cool, then scoop it into a container for storage. Reheat gently when ready to enjoy again. Careful though, it burns.
📝 Notes
- For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet.
- If the fondue is too thick, add a little more heavy cream.
- Store leftover fondue in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving.
