  • 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

  1. 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.

  2. Immediately transfer to a fondue pot heated at low or with a low flame, or serve straight from the pot.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.
