½ cup heavy whipping cream
3 tablespoons champagne
For serving: cubed pound cake; fresh strawberries; bananas, pretzels, marshmallows, or other fresh fruit; cookies

Instructions

Chocolate Fondue on the Stovetop:

In a heavy saucepan, cook and stir the chocolate chips, chocolate squares, and cream over low heat until smooth. Stir in the champagne.
Transfer to a fondue pot or slow cooker (on warm setting) and keep warm.
Serve with cake, fruit, or cookies for dipping!

Chocolate Fondue in the Crock Pot:

Serve with cake, fruit, or cookies for dipping!

Notes

Looking for a dark chocolate fondue recipe? Simply substitute dark (or semi-sweet chocolate chips) and dark chocolate baking squares for the white chocolate.
Want an alcohol-free version? Replace the champagne with an equal amount of additional heavy cream.
For a quick option that doesn't require the stovetop, Crock Pot or fondue pot, try melting your fondue in 30-second intervals in the microwave!

Can I make Chocolate Fondue ahead of time?

You can prepare this white chocolate fondue about 1-2 hours in advance of your party and then just keep it "warm" in a slow cooker until your guests are ready to enjoy.

Can Chocolate Fondue be reheated?

Yes, you can keep any leftover fondue in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat in the microwave in 15-second intervals (stirring each time), until completely melted.

How much Chocolate Fondue per person?

If you're planning a party, it can be helpful to estimate how much chocolate fondue you'll need for each guest. A good rule of thumb is about 1/4 cup per person.

This recipe yields about 1 1/3 cups of fondue, or enough for about 5+ people. If you're hosting a larger group, you'll obviously want to double, triple, or quadruple the recipe.

How to thicken chocolate fondue:

If you want to thicken the chocolate fondue, simply add more chocolate to the pot, or allow the fondue to cool slightly (it will thicken a bit as it sits).

How to thin chocolate fondue:

If you prefer a thinner consistency, add more cream, 1 tablespoon at a time.
