Chocolate Fondue

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Cakes and Desserts
Chocolate fondue is more than a dessert; it's a social event. The key is emulsion: fatty chocolate and water-based cream combining into a stable, silky dip. Done right, the coating stays glossy and smooth, clinging perfectly to cold fruit.

Instructions

1 ✓

Melt the chocolate with the heavy cream and butter over a double boiler.

Tip: A double boiler provides gentle heat. Direct flame can easily burn the chocolate, making it bitter.
2 ✓

Stir until smooth to get a glossy, uniform ganache.

Tip: The fats from the butter and cream help stabilize the chocolate and give it a beautiful shine (emulsion).
3 ✓

Stir in the vanilla and serve immediately.

Tip: Chocolate tastes best around 85-95°F, when the flavor molecules dissolve best on the tongue.

Recipe FAQ

Why did the chocolate seize (clump up)?
It was overheated, or water got into it (even steam). Chocolate seizes instantly if it comes into contact with water.
How do I keep it liquid?
Keep it warm over a tea light or a bowl of warm water, but never let it boil!
