Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/3 cup whipping cream
1 1/2 teaspoons (packed) grated orange peel
8 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
3 tablespoons Grand Marnier or other orange liqueur
8 1-inch pieces pound cake
8 1-inch pieces angel food cake
8 fresh strawberries, hulled
2 kiwis, peeled, each cut into 4 rounds
1 small pear, cored, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 large banana, cut into 8 rounds
1 orange, peel and white pith removed, cut into sections
8 dried Calimyrna figs
8 dried apricot halves

Steps:

  • Bring whipping cream and grated orange peel to simmer in heavy medium saucepan. Reduce heat to low. Add chopped chocolate and 1 tablespoon Grand Marnier; whisk until mixture is smooth. Remove fondue from heat and blend in remaining 2 tablespoons Grand Marnier.
  • Transfer fondue to fondue pot. Place over candle or canned heat burner. Serve with cake pieces and fruit for dipping.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate: The better the chocolate, the better the fondue. Look for chocolate with a high cocoa content (at least 70%) and a smooth, satiny texture.
  • Use heavy cream instead of milk: Heavy cream will make the fondue richer and more decadent. If you don't have heavy cream, you can use whole milk, but the fondue will be thinner.
  • Don't overheat the chocolate: Overheating the chocolate will cause it to seize and become grainy. Be patient and heat the chocolate slowly over low heat, stirring constantly.
  • Add the Grand Marnier gradually: Start by adding just a small amount of Grand Marnier and then taste the fondue. Add more Grand Marnier to taste, until you reach the desired flavor.
  • Serve the fondue with a variety of dippers: Some popular dippers for chocolate fondue include strawberries, bananas, marshmallows, and pretzels. You can also serve the fondue with cookies, brownies, or fruit salad.

Conclusion:

Grand Marnier chocolate fondue is a delicious and easy dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is rich, decadent, and full of flavor. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dessert that will impress your friends and family. So next time you are looking for a special dessert, give Grand Marnier chocolate fondue a try.
