Lightened-Up Chocolate Fondue

By srumbel

This is a lightened-up recipe for traditional chocolate fondue.

The heavy cream, margarine, and corn syrup called for in many versions of the recipe have been omitted, and I’ve combined three different types of chocolate, just enough milk, and a pinch of salt and vanilla extract in such a way that the final product maintains the same richness and creaminess of the original.

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup milk of choice (180g)
• 2 tbsp cocoa powder (10g)
• 5 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 5 oz chopped dark chocolate (or 5oz more chocolate chips)
• scant 1/8 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
• optional: 1/2 tbsp amaretto (omit the vanilla extract if using)

Preparation

Step 1

Whisk milk of choice, cocoa, and salt in a small saucepan. Bring to boil. Once it boils, lower to LOW and add all of the chocolate. Stir until the chocolate melts and is completely creamy, with no lumps (about 2-3 minutes). Turn off the heat and stir in the vanilla extract or amaretto. Transfer to a fondue pot or serving dish. Serve with sliced fruit, graham crackers, or anything you think would taste better with a coating of chocolate. (Read: everything!)
