Chocolate Fondue

Chocolate Fondue
Martha Stewart

We served marshmallows, pieces of crystallized ginger, dried figs, plums, and apricots with our fondue. Other dried fruits, such as pineapple or cherries, as well as nuts, madeleines, chunks of fresh fruit, and even small brownie squares would also be delicious with the sauce.

Ingredients

Makes 1 quart.

* 1 pound bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
* 2 cups heavy cream


Directions

1. Combine chocolate and cream in a heat-proof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water. Using a wooden spoon, stir occasionally until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth. Divide among 8 small bowls or ramekins; serve immediately with accompaniments.
