RicH dARk cHocolAte Fondue
Serves 6
1-1/4 cup heavy (whipping) cream
1 cup half-and-half
1-1/2 lbs. dark, bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, finely grated
1/4 cup Frangelico®, Kahlua® or any vanilla liqueur
1. Add cream and half-and-half to the fondue pot. Slide the temperature
control to MEDIUM and watch carefully as the cream bubbles lightly.
Turn heat down to avoid boiling.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT ALLOW CREAM TO BOIL.
2. Add the grated chocolate, 1/2 cup at a time, to the simmering cream.
Use a plastic or coated whisk to stir the chocolate in a figure eight pattern.
Allow each batch to melt thoroughly before adding more.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT ALLOW CHOCOLATE TO BOIL. Boiling the chocolate
fondue will cause the chocolate to seize, harden, and form a ball.
3. Add the liqueur last. Reduce temperature to MEDIUM LOW and serve.
Variations: Many different chocolates are available, including designer spiced
chocolate bars. Any of your favorites can be used.
