12 ounces of dark chocolate (chips
or roughly chopped if from a block)
8 ounces of heavy cream
A pinch of salt
Items to dip such as strawberries,
banana pieces cut into 1-inch chunks, dried apricots, candied
ginger, apple pieces
Warm the cream over moderate heat
until tiny bubbles show and begins to lightly and slowly boil. Add
the chocolate and whisk until smooth and full incorporated.
Immediately transfer to a fondue
pot heated at low or with a low flame, or serve straight from the
pot.
Arrange the items to dip on a
platter or plates around the chocolate pot. Use a fondue fork,
bamboo skewer, seafood fork, or salad fork to dip the fruit pieces
and other dippables into the hot melted cream chocolate mixture. Eat
immediately.
If the fondue begins to feel a
little stiff, add a tablespoon of heavy cream and stir. It will help
it go a little longer. Eventually, it will cook down though and you
may need to start a new pot.
