Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Fondue

  • 1 1/4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Melt Ingredients: In a heavy saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, butter, sweetened condensed milk, and water. Stir frequently to ensure even melting and prevent burning.
  2. Thicken the Mixture: Continue stirring constantly for about 5 minutes until the mixture thickens. Be careful not to let it boil to keep the fondue smooth and glossy.
  3. Add Flavorings: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of sea salt to enhance the chocolate’s flavor.
  4. Serve Fondue: Transfer the warm chocolate fondue to a serving dish or fondue pot. Serve immediately with your choice of dippers such as fruits, marshmallows, or cookies.

Notes

  • Use a heavy saucepan to prevent the chocolate from burning or overheating.
  • Do not let the mixture boil to maintain a smooth, creamy texture.
  • For best results, serve fondue warm; if it cools and thickens too much, gently reheat while stirring.
  • Try dippers like strawberries, banana slices, pretzels, or pound cake cubes for variety.
