Why in the world would you want to rush a chocolate fondue?! Ok, I admit it: I had a serious craving for chocolate last night and decided to throw together a fast personal-size version of the popular dinner party dessert of chocolate fondue. This version was simply served with tart apple slices and juicy grapes, but any kind of fruit is fabulous when dipped in chocolate!
Ingredients:
4 oz. dark chocolate, broken/diced (I used 4 squares of Ghiradelli dark chocolate) *dairy free chocolate for my vegan friends
1 Tbs. soy milk (classically, you use cream or whole milk but I can live without the pesky lactose and really, soy milk works just as well)
scant pinch of cinnamon
granny smith apple, sliced (the tartness pairs beautifully with dark chocolate)
red seedless grapes
In a small microwave safe bowl, stir together the broken chocolate and soy milk. Microwave on high for 30 seconds until the chocolate just starts to melt. Remove from the microwave and stir, allowing the residual heat to melt the rest of the chocolate and combine with the soy milk until silky smooth. Serve with fresh fruit (strawberries and bananas are my other fondue favorites) or chunks of pound cake. Feel free to share the fruit with the dog... just make sure to keep the chocolate to yourself!
Enjoy!
All I can focus in is the chocolate!
