Ingredients
- 200 grams Dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
- 150 ml Heavy cream
- 15 grams Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 200 grams Strawberries
- 2 individual Bananas
- 100 grams Marshmallows
- 150 grams Shortbread cookies
Directions
Step 1
Chop the dark chocolate into small, even pieces and place it in a medium-sized, heatproof bowl.
Step 2
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer, but do not let it boil.
Step 3
Immediately pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate. Let it sit undisturbed for 2-3 minutes to allow the chocolate to melt.
Step 4
Using a whisk or spatula, gently stir the chocolate and cream until smooth and glossy.
Step 5
Add the unsalted butter and vanilla extract to the ganache. Stir until the butter is fully melted and incorporated.
Step 6
Transfer the chocolate ganache to a fondue pot or a heatproof serving bowl. Keep warm over a low heat source, if desired.
Step 7
Prepare the dipping accompaniments: wash and hull the strawberries, peel and slice the bananas into thick chunks, and arrange them alongside the marshmallows and shortbread cookies on a serving platter.
Step 8
Serve the warm chocolate ganache alongside the platter of accompaniments. Enjoy dipping the fruits, marshmallows, and cookies into the luscious chocolate!
