Description
Make smooth, warm chocolate fondue easily using your slow cooker for serving at parties or as a simple dessert dip.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Place the chocolate chips into the basin of a small slow cooker (2-quart size works well).
- Pour the heavy cream over the chocolate chips.
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 1 hour, stirring every 20 minutes until the chocolate is mostly melted.
- Remove the lid and stir until the mixture is completely smooth.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
- Switch the slow cooker setting to KEEP WARM. Stir the fondue occasionally while serving.
Notes
- For a thinner consistency, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of milk or cream while stirring.
- If the fondue seems too thick after sitting, stir in a small amount of warm liquid.
- Serve with cubed pound cake, strawberries, banana slices, pretzels, and marshmallows for dipping.
- For a peanut butter variation, add 1/2 cup of creamy peanut butter along with the cream.
