A chocolate fondue is perfect for any occasion: an intimate supper, a
children’s party, a dinner with friends. Usually made with bittersweet
dark chocolate (60% cacao), but you can change the type of chocolate
and prepare several other kinds of chocolate fondues:
- White chocolate fondue
- Milk chocolate fondue
- Three chocolate fondue
- Toblerone fondue
- Nutella fondue
Side Dishes:
You can serve chocolate fondue with a large selection of fresh and dried
treats.
- Fresh fruits: strawberries, apples, pears, grapes, bananas, kiwis,
pineapples, oranges, mangos, raspberries, melons, honey dew melons, etc.
- Dried fruits: apricots, figs, large dried raisins
- Nuts: almonds, hazelnuts, pecans
- Gourmet ideas: macaroons, meringues, marshmallows, biscottis,
lady fingers, madeleines
Beverages:
A nice glass of Porto or a light apple cider will add the perfect touch to
your chocolate fondue.
You can also serve a cup of rich coffee.
