- To prepare the chocolate mass, melt 200 g chocolate together with 200 g cream in a water bath. Mix the two well. After melting, the mass is kept warm using the fondue flame.
- All types of chocolate are suitable, whether dark, whole milk or even mixed varieties. The higher the quality of the chocolate, the better the result will taste.
- For a special taste experience, you can add coconut flakes, sugar sprinkles, instant coffee powder, a few drops of liqueur, red wine, orange juice or other extras to the chocolate.
- If there are no fondue skewers, you can simply use forks to dip into the fondue.
