Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 7 minutes
Ingredients:
- Pineapple slices and kiwi fruit for dipping
- 6 ounces semisweet chocolate
- 1/2 cup whipping cream
- 2 teaspoons Kirsch brandy, Grand Marnier or rum, or to taste
Preparation:
If you have a double boiler, melt the whipping cream and chocolate in the top half of the boiler. If not, half-fill a heavy saucepan with water and heat until barely simmering.Place the chocolate and whipping cream in a metal bowl over the saucepan, making sure the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the simmering water. Turn the heat down to low and melt the chocolate with the whipping cream, stirring constantly and making sure the chocolate doesn't burn.
Pour the mixture into a ceramic pot made for dessert fondues and stir in the brandy or rum. Keep warm on low heat.
Use a dipping fork to draw the pineapple and kiwi fruit slices into the warm chocolate.
