You only need 4 ingredients and about 15 minutes for this festive dessert that’s worthy of any special celebration! Whether you serve White Chocolate Champagne Fondue at a holiday party, for a New Year’s gathering, or as a romantic dessert on Valentine’s Day, it’s a special sweet treat that makes a big statement — with very little effort!
Hello, hello! Are you almost ready for Christmas?! Have you wrapped your presents, baked your cookies, and planned a menu? My boys are home from school this week on “vacation,” so I’ve had to take care of most of my cooking and shopping in advance. And you know what that means? My brain is already thinking about New Year’s Eve!
If you’re hosting a party with friends, going to a potluck, or just having a low-key evening at home, this dip is for you! Any special occasion deserves a sweet treat with a little bit of bubbly added into the mix, and my white chocolate fondue is no exception! Plus, it couldn’t be easier (you know I’m not into complicated recipes, right?!)…
Best of all, there’s really no “cooking” involved. You just melt the chocolate (along with a couple of other ingredients) in a pot and serve it with any delicious dippers that you love. I’m a big fan of the frozen pound cake, which I can just thaw on the counter, dice into cubes, and pile high on a platter. Fruit is always a safe bet (and it’s colorful), but sugar cookies, gingerbread cookies, or even something salty like pretzels would all be AWESOME dunked into the warm, creamy treat.
Enjoy, and have a very happy holiday!!

What a gorgeous dessert, Blair! I absolutely love the idea of a champagne fondue. Sounds so creative and so delicious for New Year’s! I’m definitely pinning this and keep it in mind. Love it!

I’ve never made fondue at home before! This version sounds like it is worth a try though. Adding champagne is such a creative idea! Great dessert, Blair!

Thanks, Christine! 🙂 Have a happy New Year!!
This looks delicious! I was wondering if there is something else besides champagne that’s not alcoholic and would still give it a similar kick?
Hi, Natalie! Sure! You could use an equal amount of additional cream, milk, or even ginger ale!
Can this be used in a fountain?
Hi, Maria! I have no idea…I’ve never used a chocolate fountain before. I imagine that the fountains need a very thin chocolate in order to have it flow smoothly. This is probably a bit too thick, so you’d likely need to add more cream or thin it some other way. Sorry that I can’t be more helpful, but that’s definitely beyond my realm of expertise. 🙂
