Chocolate Fondue with Clementines, Candied Grapefruit Peel, and Glaceed Orange Slices image

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Time 8m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
8 ounces bittersweet chocolate (61 percent), finely chopped (1 1/2 cups)
1/4 cup orange liqueur, such as Grand Marnier
5 clementines, peeled and separated into segments
30 pieces Candied Grapefruit Peel
24 Glaceed Orange Slices

Steps:

  • Bring cream and butter to a simmer in a small saucepan. Pour over chocolate in a bowl.
  • Let chocolate mixture stand for 3 minutes, then whisk until smooth. Whisk in liqueur. Serve immediately with clementines and candied citrus.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the fondue will be. Look for bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Use fresh orange juice. Fresh orange juice will give the fondue a brighter, more vibrant flavor.
  • Grate the orange zest finely. This will help release the orange's essential oils and give the fondue a more intense flavor.
  • Be careful not to overheat the chocolate. If the chocolate gets too hot, it will seize up and become grainy.
  • Serve the fondue with a variety of dipping options. Some popular choices include fruit, marshmallows, cookies, and pretzels.

Conclusion:

Bittersweet chocolate orange fondue is a delicious and versatile dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its rich, chocolatey flavor and refreshing orange citrus, this fondue is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
