This recipe is from The Culinary Institute of America's Gourmet Meals in Minutes cookbook... Ingredients:
one cup bittersweet chocolate, melted |
one cup semi-sweet chocolate, melted |
one-half cup heavy cream |
two teaspoons orange zest |
pinch of salt |
two tablespoons honey |
one-quarter cup grand mariner |
assorted fresh fruit, cut into bite-sized pieces, as needed |
ladyfingers or pound cake, cut into bite-sized pieces, as needed |
Directions:
1. Combine the melted chocolates and keep warm.
2. Bring the heavy cream, orange zest, salt and honey to a simmer. Remove from heat and allow the zest to steep for 5 minutes. Strain the mixture into the chocolate and whisk together.
3. Add the Grand Mariner and mix thoroughly. Serve warm in a fondue pot with a variety of foods to dip (e.g. strawberries with stems, pitted cherries, orange segments, apricots, cake pieces, etc.)
4. .......................................................................................................................
5. Note: If you prefer, omit the Grand Mariner and substitute an additional 1/4 cup of heavy cream
6. ........................................................................................................................
7. Although many fondues can be prepared ahead of time, chocolate fondue should be made just before serving. Measuring ingredients and chopping the chocolate in advance will reduce the amount of time spent in the kitchen. Expect the preparation to take about 10 to 15 minutes. Preparing the dipping items in advance is another valuable time-saver
