· Place the fondue dish on the stand and fill it with 2 full cups of water (warm).
· Bring out a medium sized saucepan and place it on the stove (low flame). Add the cream gently into the pan and heat it till you notice a little steam coming out of it. It would normally take 2 to 3 minutes. Pay attention to the amount of heat coming out off the pan, it should not be brought to boiling temperature.
· Remove the saucepan from the flame and keep aside.
· Crumble 8 ounces of semi sweetened chocolate into warm cream.
· Stir this mixture well till the chocolate dissolves completely and melts into the heavy cream. The appearance of the mixture should be creamy and smooth.
· Gradually add 1 teaspoon of vanilla essence and continue to stir for 2 to 3 minutes.
· Once the mixture is well blended. Transfer the entire mixture into a fondue pot.
Serve with marshmallows, walnuts and fresh cake (cubed).
The key to every beautiful fondue is to keep the flame extremely low while melting your chocolate. |
