Ingredients:
3/4 cup heavy whipping cream, reserve 1/4 cup to thin if fondue begins to thicken |
4 bittersweet chocolate bars, chopped, 3 1/2 ounces each |
2 tablespoons frangelico or amaretto liqueur, optional |
1/4 cup finely chopped hazelnuts or almonds, optional |
hazelnut or almond biscotti |
salted pretzel sticks |
cubed pound cake |
sliced bananas |
stem strawberries |
sectioned navel oranges |
ripe fresh diced pineapple |
Directions:
1. Heat 1/2 cup cream in a heavy non-reactive saucepot over moderate heat until cream comes to a low boil. Remove the pan from the heat and add chocolate. Let the chocolate stand in hot cream 3 to 5 minutes to soften, then whisk chocolate together with the cream. Stir in liqueur and/or chopped nuts and transfer the fondue to a fondue pot or set the mixing bowl on a rack above a small lit candle. If fondue becomes too thick, stir in reserved cream, 1 tablespoon at a time, to desired consistency. Arrange your favorite dippables in piles on a platter along side chocolate fondue with fondue forks, bamboo skewers or seafood forks, as utensils, for dipping.
