With chocolate chips
- 1 cup (170g) dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup (120ml) heavy cream
- 1 tbsp butter optional, for extra richness
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
With cocoa powder
- 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
- 1-2 teaspoon cornstarch optional
Instructions
With chocolate chips
- In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the heavy cream until hot but not boiling.
- Add chocolate chips and stir until melted and smooth.
- Stir in butter (if using), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix well.
- Pour into a bowl or fondue pot. Serve immediately with your favorite dippers.
With cocoa powder
- In a small bowl, whisk together cocoa powder, sugar, and salt.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine milk and heavy cream. Heat until warm but not boiling.
- Gradually add the cocoa-sugar mixture to the warm milk, whisking continuously to dissolve and avoid lumps.
- Stir in butter, mixing until everything is melted and smooth.
- Add cornstarch dissolved in 1 tablespoon of milk to make the texture silkier and a bit thicker, especially if you like a creamier dip.
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
- Transfer to a fondue pot or heatproof bowl. Keep warm using a tealight or small burner if desired.
Notes
- Use any chocolate you like—milk, dark, or even white.
- If the fondue thickens, reheat gently and stir in a splash of cream.
- Add a splash of liqueur (like Baileys or Grand Marnier) for an adult twist.
