Chocolate fondue makes a divine dessert and is the perfect choice for chocoholics, plus it’s so easy to make!
For this chocolate fondue recipe, choose a good quality plain or dark chocolate with between 50-70% cocoa solids. This will make for a rich and silky smooth finish on your chocolate fondue dessert! The dark chocolate will also compliment the sweetness of the fruit or marshmallows (opens in new tab) you're going to be dunking into it.
Kids will absolutely love this one, and if you're brave enough it's a great showstopper to bring out at little ones' birthdays!
A few drops of peppermint extract or orange oil can be added to give a different flavour to the chocolate. Or, for a grown-up version, add 2-3 tbsp liqueur or brandy to the hot cream and milk step of this recipe for a bit of a boozy dessert!
Ingredients
- 150ml double cream
- 75ml milk
- 400g plain chocolate, finely chopped

Method
- Pour the cream and milk into a pan and heat gently until almost boiling. Remove from the heat and stir in the chocolate. Continue stirring until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is smooth and thick.
- Transfer the mixture to a fondue pot and set over a low flame or serve in a warmed heatproof bowl. If the chocolate fondue starts to set place the bowl over a pan of simmering water and stir until smooth. Skewer the fruit, mini muffins or marshmallows onto long handled forks and dip into the chocolate.
