Chocolate Fondue With Sour Cream Recipes

Steps:

• Heat chocolate, sour cream, half-and-half and coffee in heavy 2-quart saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly, until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth; remove from heat.
• Pour chocolate mixture into fondue or chafing dish to keep warm. Spear fruit and cake with fondue forks; dip and swirl in fondue with stirring motion. If mixture becomes too thick, stir in small amount of half-and-half.

Steps:

• In a fondue pot over low heat, melt chocolate with sour cream, stirring. Add liqueur or coffee. Stir in cream until mixture reaches desired thickness; just thick enough to coat and cling to fruit. Keep warm over low heat. Serve with the fruit and pound cake.
• Serving suggestion: A selection of skewered, sliced fresh fruit, especially strawberries, finger bananas, cherries, pineapple, large marshmallows and cubes of pound cake.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine frosting and sour cream; spoon into a serving bowl. Serve with fruit. Refrigerate leftovers.

Steps:

• Heat the cream in a saucepan over low to medium heat until warmed through but not bubbling; add the bittersweet chocolate, semisweet chocolate, amaretto and vanilla and stir until the chocolate is melted. Pour the mixture into a fondue pot.
• Arrange your dipping ingredients on a platter and serve!

Steps:

• Combine the sweetened cream of coconut and 12 ounces of chocolate in a heavy large saucepan. Stir the mixture over very low heat until the mixture is smooth.
• Stir in the whipping cream and extract.
• Transfer the mixture to the fondue pot. Place over a candle or canned heat burner, and serve with fruit.
• You can prepare this 8 hours ahead of time - just cover it and store at room temperature, and rewarm it before serving.

Steps:

• Butter an 8 inch square baking dish, and set aside. In a heavy saucepan, combine the sugar, sour cream, corn syrup and butter. Bring to a boil; cover and cook one minute. Stir until well blended. Remove the lid, and without stirring, heat to between 234 and 240 degrees F (112 to 116 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a soft ball that flattens when removed from the water and placed on a flat surface.
• Remove from the heat, and add the chocolate and vanilla. Do not stir. Set the pan over a wire rack until the mixture cools to about 175 degrees F (80 degrees C). This should take about 15 minutes.
• Beat the fudge with a wooden spoon until it thickens and loses its gloss. Stir in walnuts, and pour into the buttered dish. Spread evenly, then set aside to cool. Cut into small squares.

Steps:

• 1. Beat cream cheese with electric beaters in a small mixer bowl until soft and creamy. 2. Transfer cream cheese to fondue pot, add chocolate, cream and butter. Stir over a low heat until chocolate has melted and mixture is smooth. Add liqueur; mix well.

Steps:

• To make the sauce, in a small bowl, combine the chocolate and 1/2 cup milk or cream and melt gently in a barely simmering water bath or microwave on Medium (50 percent) power for about 2 minutes.
• Stir until smooth.
• Add more liquid if the sauce seems too thick or look curdled.
• Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla.
• Use warm fondue immediately or set aside until needed and rewarm briefly.
• Have forks, skewers, or pretty (or goofy) swizzle sticks available for guests to dip with.
• If the fondue gets too thick or cool, reheat gently (without boiling) for 1 minute in the microwave on Medium (50percent) power or set in a pan of barely simmering water.
• Leftover sauce keeps several days in the refrigerator.
• It is a prefect topping for ice cream.
• Note: This is a versatile recipe that can be tailored to your taste and the type of chocolate you are using.
• For the most intense chocolate fondue, use milk, rather than half-and-half or cream, and omit the butter.
• For even greater intensity, choose a bittersweet chocolate labeled anywhere from 66 percent to 70 percent and use the greater amount of liquid called for.
• Butter or cream results in a softer, mellower chocolate flavor.
• Ideas for dipping: Kumquats or segments of seedless clementines, oranges, or ruby grapefruit- If possible, separate the citrus into segments without breaking the membrane.
• If you set the segments on a rack to dry in a warm place or in the oven, preheated to 200° F, then turned off for several hours, the membrane will dry like crisp paper and the juices will burst in your mouth when you take a bite.
• Chunks of pineapple Chunks of fresh coconut or large curls of dried coconut Chunks of banana Dried fruit such as apricot, mango, papaya, pineapple, or Bing cherries Strips of good-quality candied orange, grapefruit or lemon peel Cubes of pound cake or angel food cake, or toasted cubes of brioche or challah Cigarette cookies, fan wafers, graham crackers or digestive biscuits, or pretzels Marshmallows or meringues Toasted shaved almonds (to sprinkle on after dipping).
