Ingredients
Dark Chocolate Coconut Fondue
- 7 oz can full fat coconut milk (not coconut drink)
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups (or 12 oz) 60% cacao or greater dark chocolate chips
White Chocolate Swirl
- 2 oz white chocolate chips
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
Fruit for Dipping
- Grapes
- Strawberries
- Blueberries
- Bananas, sliced into circles
- Blackberries
- Kiwi, peeled and sliced into circles
- Starfruit, sliced into stars
Preparation
- To make the White Chocolate Swirl, gently heat the heavy cream over a double boiler over medium heat.
- When warm to the touch, add the white chocolate chips and whisk until smooth. Turn off heat and set it aside while you prepare the Dark Chocolate Coconut Fondue.
- Create a double boiler in a separate saucepan, and gently heat the coconut milk in a double boiler over medium heat.
- Add the dark chocolate chips and whisk until smooth and melted. Whisk in the vanilla.
- Pour the dark chocolate fondue into a fondue pot and light the fuel underneath. Keep the flame low, so the fondue does not burn.
- Carefully drizzle the white chocolate fondue in a circle pattern on the dark chocolate fondue. We used a liquid measuring cup with a spout to do this.
- Using one of the bamboo skewers, gently swirl the white chocolate fondue to create the black hole effect.
- Skewer fruit onto long bamboo skewers, and arrange them in glasses around the fondue pot. The fruit are the planets and asteroids getting sucked into the black hole!
Serve immediately and enjoy!
