Servings: 8 | Cook Time: 60 minutes
Prep Time: 10 minutes | Total Time: 70 minutes
Ingredients
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup fresh blackberries
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Blackberries: In a small saucepan, combine blackberries and sugar. Cook over medium heat until they release their juices, about 5 minutes.
- Strain the Mixture: Strain the blackberry mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds and set the juice aside.
- Add Ingredients to Crockpot: In the crockpot, combine chocolate chips, heavy cream, vanilla extract, butter, and a pinch of salt.
- Cook: Set the crockpot on low heat. Stir occasionally until the chocolate is melted and smooth, about 45-60 minutes.
- Incorporate Blackberry Juice: Add the strained blackberry juice into the melted chocolate and stir until well combined.
- Serve: Keep the fondue warm in the crockpot on the "keep warm" setting and serve with your choice of dippers.
Tips
- If the fondue is too thick, add a little more cream until the desired consistency is reached.
- Use a variety of dippers like strawberries, bananas, and pound cake for more flavor options.
- For a smoother texture, ensure the blackberries are fully pureed before straining.
