Chocolate fountains always cheer up the young (and not-so-young) birthday or pyjama party guests.
If you do not have a fountain, prepare the dessert in a pot, just like fondue.
Ingredients:
For the dip:
300 g chocolate, chopped
250 ml sweet cream
50 ml milk
50 g butter
a pinch of cinnamon – optional
For dipping:
strawberries (leaves removed)
bananas (peeled and sliced 2 cm thick)
tangerine wedges, grapes…
pieces of sponge cake
crêpes – rolled and sliced 2 cm thick and pierced by a stick
large salted pretzels
…
BBQ skewers or fondue forks
Method:
Combine the cream, milk and chopped chocolate in an oven-proof dish. Cook over low heat, stirring until the chocolate has melted. Add the butter and stir well until uniform. (If the crème seams too thick, add 1-2 tbsp milk.) Stir in the cinnamon (optional).
Pour the crème into the device (the fountain) or place the dish on a fondue base over a candle.
Serve the strawberries, bananas, tangerines, grapes, pretzels, crêpes on sticks, and sliced sponge cake – and the party can begin!
