Description
A rich and unique chocolate fondue featuring the classic flavors of red velvet cake, perfect for dipping fruits and treats.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces white chocolate, chopped
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon red food coloring (gel preferred)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Place the chopped white chocolate in a medium, heat-safe bowl.
- In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, warm the heavy cream until it just begins to simmer around the edges. Do not boil.
- Pour the warm cream over the white chocolate. Let it sit undisturbed for 3 minutes to melt the chocolate.
- Whisk the chocolate and cream mixture until smooth.
- Add the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt to the chocolate mixture.
- Whisk until the cream cheese is fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
- Add the red food coloring, starting with a few drops, and mix until you achieve a deep red velvet color. Add more coloring if needed.
- Transfer the fondue to a small fondue pot or a slow cooker set to the lowest setting to keep warm. Stir occasionally while serving.
Notes
- For dipping, use strawberries, pound cake cubes, pretzels, marshmallows, and shortbread cookies.
- If the fondue becomes too thick, whisk in a tablespoon of warm heavy cream until the desired consistency is reached.
- Keep the heat low in the fondue pot to prevent the chocolate from scorching or seizing.
