Simple chocolate fondue recipe from Frisco Style

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 5 minutes

Servings: 1 batch

INGREDIENTS

• 3/4 cup(s) heavy whipping cream reserve 1/4 c. to thin if fondue begins to thicken
• 4 3.5-ounce bars bittersweet chocolate chopped
• 2 tablespoons Frangelico of Amaretto liqueur optional
• 1/4 cup(s) finely chopped hazelnuts or almonds optional

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Heat 1/2 cup cream in a heavy nonreactive saucepan over moderate heat until cream comes to a low boil. Remove the pan from the heat and add chocolate. Let the chocolate stand in hot cream 3 to 5 minutes to soften, then whisk chocolate together with the cream.
2. Stir in liqueur and/or chopped nuts and transfer the fondue to a fondue pot or set the mixing bowl on a rack above a small lit candle.
3. If fondue becomes too thick, stir in reserved cream, 1 tablespoon at a time, to desired consistency.
4. Arrange your favorite dippables in piles on a platter along side chocolate fondue with fondue forks, bamboo skewers or seafood forks, as utensils, for dipping.
