Instructions

1

Heat the Cream

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream and butter. Heat while stirring until the butter melts and the cream just reaches a gentle simmer with small bubbles forming at the edges.

2

Add the Chocolate

Remove from heat and add all the dark chocolate chips at once. Let them sit undisturbed for 2 full minutes to soften before touching them.

3

Stir Until Smooth

Stir slowly and steadily from the center of the pan outward in small circles until all the chocolate is melted and the fondue is completely smooth and glossy with no chunks remaining.

Substitutions

dark chocolate chipssemi-sweet or milk chocolate chips for a sweeter less intense fondue

Common mistakes

Allowing the cream to come to a full rolling boil which can cause the chocolate to break and become oily
Stirring too aggressively or too early before the chocolate has softened which can cause the fondue to become grainy
