Chocolate Fondue

 
Following on from cheese fondue, I couldn't resist doing a recipe for chocolate fondue.

Ingredients:

• 300g dark chocolate, broken into chunks


• 300ml single cream


• various fruit to dip such as: strawberries, blueberries, prunes and apricots

 

Method:

1. Place the chocolate and cream in a bowl and place that bowl over a pan of water.


2. Heat the water on a low to medium heat. It should start to boil and slowly heat up the chocolate. Make sure it doesn't boil dry by checking the water level every 10 minutes.


3. Don't stir the chocolate/cream mixture until it looks like the chocolate is really starting to melt. This should take 15 to 20 minutes.


4. Carefully stir the chocolate into the cream until the liquid is a single consistency.


5. Serve with forks and the fruit.
