To spice up a romantic evening, try this zesty chocolate fondue recipe from Francisco Lozano, Pastry Chef at the swank Ocean & Vine Restaurant in Loews Santa Monica Hotel. Ingredients:
6 oz. premium semisweet chocolate (we use valrhona's manjari 64 % cocoa butter content) |
1/2 cup heavy cream |
1/2 tsp chipotle chile paste or powder |
fresh ripe cubed fruit such as asian pears, bananas, whole strawberries for dipping |
Directions:
1. In double boiler at low heat, melt the chocolate making sure that it is stirred often until completely melted.
2. Using a small sauce pan, warm the heavy cream up with the chipotle paste (make sure cream is not hot but rather a little above lukewarm).
3. Combine the cream and chocolate and set in a fondue pot.
4. Dim room lights, turn on the fire place and enjoy!
5. (Note: the last step is extremely important in the success of this recipe.)
