Ingredients
Scale
- 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips (high-quality chocolate recommended)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare your dippers first. Arrange fruits, marshmallows, pretzels, pound cake cubes, and cookies on a large platter or board to create your fondue board setup.
- Place the chocolate chips into the basin of a small slow cooker or crockpot.
- Pour the heavy cream over the chocolate chips.
- Set the slow cooker to LOW. Allow the chocolate and cream to sit undisturbed for 15 minutes to begin melting.
- After 15 minutes, stir the mixture gently until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and the pinch of salt.
- Keep the slow cooker on the WARM setting for serving. Stir occasionally to maintain a smooth consistency.
- Serve immediately with your prepared dippers.
Notes
- For the best texture, use good quality chocolate, such as Ghirardelli or Callebaut, for a truly decadent dip.
- If you do not have a slow cooker, you can melt the chocolate and cream together in a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each interval.
- To keep the fondue warm without a pot, transfer it to a small, preheated ceramic bowl set inside a larger bowl filled with hot water.
