How to make chocolate fondue recipe

Serves 4

Total cooking time 10 minutes

Ingredients:
300 ml (½ pint) double cream
2 tablespoons orange liqueur (optional)
150 g (5 oz) dark chocolate, chopped
150 g (5 oz) milk chocolate, chopped
To serve
marshmallows
biscuits
mini doughnuts

Method:
Bring the cream to the boil in a small, heavy-based saucepan. Remove from the heat and stir in the liqueur, if using, and the chocolate until melted. Transfer to a warmed serving bowl or fondue pot, if liked.

Arrange the marshmallows, biscuits and mini doughnuts on a serving plate, spear them on long forks and dip them into the warm chocolate.

For chocolate & marshmallow trifle, place 150 g (5 oz) mini marshmallows, 50 g (2 oz) butter and 250 g (8 oz) chopped chocolate in a heavy-based saucepan and melt over a low heat until smooth. Stand the pan in a bowl of cold water and leave to cool for 5–10 minutes.

Whisk 250 ml (8 fl oz) double cream until it holds its shape, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and the cooled chocolate mixture.

Arrange bite-sized chunks of plain cake in the bottom of a serving dish and spoon the chocolate mixture on top. Scatter over a handful of raspberries and blueberries to serve. Total cooking time 20 minutes.
