A rich, easy-to-make chocolate fondue featuring a homemade salted caramel swirl, perfect for dipping fruits, pretzels, and pastries.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 8 ounces good quality dark chocolate, chopped
  • 4 ounces milk chocolate, chopped
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt (plus extra for sprinkling)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Make the salted caramel sauce: Combine sugar and water in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves, then stop stirring. Boil until the mixture turns a deep amber color, about 8 to 10 minutes.
  2. Remove the caramel from the heat. Carefully whisk in the butter, one piece at a time, until fully melted and smooth. Stir in the sea salt and vanilla extract. Set aside.
  3. Prepare the chocolate base: Place the chopped dark and milk chocolate in a heatproof bowl.
  4. Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan until it just begins to simmer around the edges. Do not boil.
  5. Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate. Let it sit undisturbed for 5 minutes to melt the chocolate.
  6. Whisk the chocolate and cream mixture gently until completely smooth.
  7. Pour about half of the prepared salted caramel sauce into the chocolate mixture. Gently fold it in once or twice to create a swirl effect; do not fully mix it in.
  8. Transfer the fondue to a fondue pot or a small slow cooker set to low heat.
  9. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping items. Drizzle any remaining caramel over the top before serving and sprinkle with a little extra sea salt.

Notes

  • For best results, use chocolate bars chopped by hand rather than chips, as they melt more evenly.
  • Keep the fondue warm by placing the serving bowl over a small tea light candle or using a low setting on an electric fondue pot.
  • If the fondue becomes too thick, stir in one tablespoon of warm milk or cream at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
