Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 pound premium semisweet chocolate (recommended: Lindt or Callebaut)
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon brandy
- Strawberries, bananas, pineapple, brownies, marshmallows, cookies or any other dipping item of your choice
Instructions
- Put approximately 4 inches of water in the saucepan and bring to a slow boil. Place the mixing bowl on top and pour in the heavy cream; let heat. Meanwhile, break up or chop chocolate into small pieces. When the cream feels hot to the touch, add chocolate and whisk until smooth. Whisk in vanilla and brandy.
- Pour into the fondue pot and light the handy fuel underneath; keep the flame low as not to burn the fondue. Arrange strawberries, bananas, pineapple, brownies, marshmallow, cookies or any of your favorite items on a platter and enjoy.

So easy to make and very delicious! Next time we will just make 1/2 the recipe. It made a lot of chocolate! Keeps well in the fridge for rehearing though.
This literally made hot chocolate instead of fondue. Use like 1/3 of the suggested cream.
This recipe has WAY too much cream! 2 cups to a pound of chocolate yielded a yummy cocoa. Cut cream to 3/4 cup. Don’t know how anyone could have used this as fondue dip as written.
Easy and tasted great.
Absolutely delicious and super easy. Kids and hubby enjoyed it too! Thanks
Easy and awesome!! We used 1/2 milk chocolate and 1/2 dark chocolate chips. We used Grand Marnier instead of brandy. This was the best fondue we’ve made. It went sooo well with strawberries and angel food cake. Our guests were all in chocolate heaven. We’ll use this recipe from now on for our fondue.
This is a great, quick recipe that still tastes wonderful. We usually do fondue on holidays and special family nights, and I’m always a bit pressed for time. This recipe cooks up so fast, and I can do it mostly straight out of the pantry. I do substitute half and half for the whipping cream unless I really want to splurge!
The outcome is a very rich and smooth. We cut the recipe in half because it seemed like a lot for the two of us and even then we had a TON left over. We decided that cutting it in half for four people would still yeild left over chocolate. I also found that it was almost too rich, I may do half milk chocolate and half semi-sweet chocolate. Overall it is a great base recipe to make adjustments and improve upon.
this was good we had a dinner party it was a hit
It wasa bit much for just me and my husband. My children are both five and did not eat much but enjoyed the dipping part. So, next time we would most likely cut the recipe in half. Also, we added 1 tsp of cherry brandy instead of the Tbsp of brandy called for and I am glad because my husband could taste it right away. We do not like the taste of alcohol and it was just enough. Very good recipe!
