Chocolate Fruit Fondue for two

1/6/2018

0 Comments

 
Valentine’s Day is a chocolate lover’s dream, and there’s no better treat for a loving couple than a Chocolate Fondue. It’s arguably the perfect dessert. It’s delicious, decadent, healthy(ish), and best of all; designed to be shared with that Special Someone!
Picture
For our Chocolate Fondue, you will need only a few ingredients:
  • 1 jar Sweet Ladybug Baked Goods Hot Fudge Sauce (or Salted Caramel Sauce for alternative) available on our online store.
  • Your favorite Fresh Fruit - Strawberries, Sliced Bananas, Sliced Apples, Pitted Cherries, etc
  • Optional (If you’re feeling naughty)
    • Cheese Chunks - Cheddar, Blue Cheese, or Brie (not too soft or crumbly)
    • Pound Cake, cut into cubes.
Picture
  1. Slice the fruits, cheeses and pound cake into chunks small enough to fit in your mouth, but large enough to hold together on the fork/skewer. Set aside for now.
  2. To start getting you chocolate sauce nice and runny, take the lid off the Hot Fudge sauce, and place opened jar in the microwave. Heat on HIGH for 30 seconds. (If you’re not a chocolate person, Sweet Ladybug Baked Goods also makes a Salted Caramel Sauce. Just substitute the sauces, and follow the directions as normal)
  3. Stir contents of the jar, and place back in microwave and heat on high again for 30 sec.
  4. If further heating is needed, place back in microwave and heat again in 10 second intervals, stirring in between. It may take more or less time depending on your microwave.
  5. To test if the sauce is ready, stir it with a spoon and lift it over the jar. If the sauce stirred like a thick liquid and has a slow, even drip off the spoon, that means it’s melted to perfection.
  6. Once sauce is evenly melted, pour it into a Fondue pot or a bowl. An ideal Fondue pot should be small and deep enough to ensure you can submerge your morsels, but not so small that it’s difficult for both of you to dip at the same time. Synchronized dipping is half the fun!
  7. Serve immediately, dip fruit and enjoy! TIP: If using a bowl and the chocolate begins to stiffen, place in microwave and heat on HIGH for 10 sec.
Sweet Ladybug Baked Goods Hot Fudge and Salted Caramel Sauce lend themselves very well to Dessert Fondue. They are made with simple ingredients and are naturally gluten free. If you enjoyed having it with your fondue, there are plenty of other delectable applications. Take it with you when camping for instant s’mores, dip strawberries in it for easy horderves at a party, or simply drizzle it over ice cream for a tasty treat.
