The April 2008 Recipe of the Month Silky-Smooth Chocolate Fondue This chocolate fondue recipe is simple to create, but it tastes divine. Be sure to use fresh fruit and good-quality chocolate, and stir carefully. And for best results, be sure to melt it all very slowly in a double boiler. We thank Emerald Robinson of San Francisco for this submission.
Ingredients 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate 3/4 cup half and half 1 Tablespoon butter 2 Tablespoons brandy or cognac, or a dash of brandy-flavored extract Fresh fruit, such as strawberries, bananas, apples, oranges, and pineapple, cut up into good-sized chunks or large slices for dipping. Directions Using a double boiler, melt the chocolate and half and half carefully, stirring until very smooth. Add butter, stir until melted and well mixed. Add brandy, cognac, or extract, stir well. Serve in a fondue pot, or in a pre-warmed, heavy ceramic bowl. Invite your friends over for dessert! Enjoy!
