Method

1.      Heat ½ cup of cream and rosemary or ginger in a heavy non-reactive saucepot over moderate heat until cream comes to a low boil. Remove the pot from the heat and add chocolate. Let the chocolate stand in hot cream 3 to 5 minutes to soften, and then whisk chocolate together with the cream.

2.      Stir in liqueur and/or chopped nuts and transfer the fondue to a fondue pot or set the mixing bowl on a rack above a small lit candle. If fondue becomes too thick, stir in reserved cream, 1 tablespoon at a time, to desired consistency.

3.      Arrange your favorite dippables in piles on a platter along side chocolate fondue with fondue forks, bamboo skewers or seafood forks, as utensils, for dipping.

4.      For the white chocolate, you can add raspberry puree.

烹调步骤

1.      将½杯奶油，迷迭香或生姜放在陶锅内，以中火加热到奶油略微开始沸腾。将锅从炉上移开并加入巧克力。让巧克力在热奶油中软化3－5分钟，再将巧克力和奶油一起搅匀。

2.      拌入甜酒、碎果仁后，倒进巧克力火锅装置内，架在小蜡烛上加热。如果巧克力浆过于浓稠，可将另备的奶油加入其中，每次搅入一茶匙，调到合适的浓度。

3.      根据您的喜好，选择涮料，摆放在盘中，吃时用小叉子、竹签或海鲜叉叉起，蘸上巧克力浆享用。

4.      如果使用白巧克力，可以加入覆盆子果泥。
