Decadent chocolate fondue tastes great when paired with fruit, angel food cake, ladyfingers, and pretzels.

Transcript: Chocolate Fondue

Hi, I'm Heidi Dehncke-Fisher for About.com Food. Today I am going to make chocolate fondue.

Invented at the Chalet Suisse restaurant in New York City in the 1950s, chocolate fondue is great with fruit, angel food cake, ladyfingers, pretzels, and even chips

Ingredients for Chocolate Fondue

For my chocolate fondue recipe, you will need:
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 16 ounces chocolate
  • 2 tablespoons kirsch brandy or Cointreau

Combine the Ingredients

You can buy morsels, but if your chocolate is in bar form, then chop or break up your chocolate into small bits. Combine all of the ingredients in a fondue pot or saucepan.

Heat and Serve the Chocolate Fondue

Stir over low heat until everything has combined and is velvety and smooth. Chocolate fondue is as luscious as it looks.
