A quick and easy chocolate fondue made with dark chocolate and fresh strawberries, perfect for cozy nights and intimate gatherings. This silky, rich dip is a comforting treat that pairs beautifully with juicy strawberries and other dippers.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz (225 g) dark chocolate, chopped or chips
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon (14 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 pint (about 450 g) fresh strawberries, washed and dried
  • Optional dippers: marshmallows, pretzels, pound cake cubes, banana slices

Instructions

  1. Wash and pat dry 1 pint (about 450 g) of fresh strawberries. Leave the green tops on for easy dipping. Set aside.
  2. Finely chop 8 oz (225 g) of dark chocolate or use chips.
  3. In a small saucepan, gently warm 1/2 cup (120 ml) heavy cream over low heat until steaming with small bubbles around the edge (about 3-4 minutes). Do not boil.
  4. Remove the cream from heat and add the chopped chocolate. Let it sit for a minute to soften, then stir gently until smooth and glossy. If needed, return to low heat briefly, stirring constantly to avoid burning (1-2 minutes max).
  5. Stir in 1 tablespoon (14 g) softened unsalted butter and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract if using.
  6. Pour the warm chocolate fondue into a fondue pot or heatproof bowl. Light a tea light underneath if using a fondue set to keep warm.
  7. Serve immediately with strawberries and optional dippers. Dip and enjoy.

Notes

Keep the chocolate warm but not hot to avoid thickening or burning. Stir in a splash of cream if it thickens. Let strawberries come to room temperature if taken from the fridge to prevent shocking the chocolate. Use good quality chocolate for best results. Double boiler method can be used for melting chocolate safely.
