Easy Chocolate Fondue



24 ounces semisweet chocolate chips

1-1/4 C. evaporated milk

1/4 C. sugar

2 t. vanilla extract

1 T. fruit flavored liqueur



Place ingredients in cooker. Cover and cook on high 30 minutes. Stir well, cover and cook on low 1 hour longer. Dip pieces of pound cake, fruit, pretzels, cookies or marshmallows into chocolate mixture. Makes 3 cups
You can use a double-boiler or create your own. Simply use two pots of different sizes. The larger one will have about 1 inch (2.5 cm) of water in it, and the smaller one will contain your chocolate.



Heat up the water and keep stirring the chocolate while it melts. Once it's ready, transfer to your fondue pot with a small tealight. Although the heat from the tealight isn't as hot as a cheese or meat fondue burner, you still need to keep stirring it or it will start burning right above the flame.How do you melt chocolate for fondue?
ok. there are two ways of melthing them.



one is place the chips at the microwave oven and heat up for a couple of minutes but not burn. the other one is place a small pan of water and place the bowl of chips on top of it and simmer. stirr it regularly avoid sticking or burn until thick liquid. then pour in the whipping/ double cream and stirr it until creamy chocolate texture. (opt) to include vanilla mixture.



the other one way is you place the chocolate chips at the a heated-proof bowl and set aside. heat up the cream and vanilla (depends on the types of chocolate u are using). when hot, pour some over the chocolate chips and stirr. you can add the mixture depends on how thickens the fondue you want.



then when serving, place them on the small fire and serve. if not, when cooled, the chocolate is harden, then you will get tuffle not fondue.



actually fondue and ganache has the same procedures.
you have to have a double boiler (smaller pan insine a larger pan) put some water inside the larger pan, not too much you don't want to get water in the smaller pan, put chocolate in smaller pan heat untill melted, you can also buy double boilers but this should workHow do you melt chocolate for fondue?
you need two pots, one big, one small, put the chocolate in the small pot, boil water in the big pot, now set the small pot into the big pot, this will melt the chocolate without burning it.
