Description
A simple recipe for making a gooey chocolate fondue that captures the flavor of classic s’mores, perfect for dipping and sharing.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup marshmallow fluff or small marshmallows
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs (for rimming optional)
- Assorted dipping items (graham crackers, strawberries, pretzels)
Instructions
- Prepare your serving dish by lightly greasing the inside if using a fondue pot. If you want a graham cracker rim, mix crumbs with a little melted butter and press onto the sides of the serving bowl.
- Combine the chocolate chips and heavy cream in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water (double boiler method). Stir frequently until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Do not let the water touch the bottom of the bowl.
- Alternatively, place chocolate chips and cream in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on 50% power in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until smooth.
- Remove the melted chocolate mixture from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- If using marshmallow fluff, gently fold it into the melted chocolate until just combined for a marbled effect. If using whole marshmallows, place them on top of the melted chocolate and let them sit for 2 minutes before gently stirring them in until mostly melted and gooey.
- Transfer the fondue to a small slow cooker or a fondue pot set to low heat to keep it warm for serving.
- Serve immediately with graham crackers and other desired dipping items.
Notes
- Use good quality chocolate for the best flavor and melting consistency. Milk chocolate can be substituted, but you may need slightly less cream.
- Keep the heat low when melting to prevent the chocolate from scorching or seizing.
- If the fondue becomes too thick while serving, stir in a teaspoon of warm heavy cream to loosen it.
