Camp-fire Chocolate Fondue
You will need:
You will need:
- 200 gr bar of milk chocolate
- ½ cup of cream
Place a small cast iron pot over hot coals – no flames, you want a gentle steady heat, and pour in the cream
Allow the cream to almost come to the boil – small bubbles will appear around the edges
Add the chocolate a chunk at a time, stirring well with a wooden spoon to blend the melting chocolate into the cream
As each piece melts completely, add the next piece
Keep stirring until all the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy
Serve with dipping goodies
What to dip: start with the obvious – strawberries, bananas and marshmallows are all delicious. So are chunks of fresh pineapple, or dried mangoes. Mini biscuits went down a treat, and someone in our crowd wanted jelly babies (and that’s an acquired taste, I feel, not too sure about chocolate covered jelly babies). Let your imagination run free, and try other goodies, anything you fancy which you feel would be good coated in hot chocolate!
