Coco Loco Chocolate Fondue Recipes

Steps:

• Special equipment: a 6-quart slow cooker
• Heat a 6-quart slow cooker with insert on high until hot.
• Combine the chocolate, cream, milk, vanilla and salt in the hot insert. Cover and cook on high for 30 minutes, then whisk the ingredients together and set on low. Add the bourbon or liqueur if using.
• Serve with fruit, marshmallows or pound cake.

Steps:

• Peel and cut the banana and core and slice the apple. Place the bananas slices, apple slices and strawberries in separate piles on a serving plate. Sprinkle the banana and apple slices with the orange juice and toss gently. Cover the fruit with plastic wrap and refrigerate while you make the fondue.
• In a medium saucepan whisk together the cocoa powder and sugar. Gradually pour in the evaporated milk and whisk well to make a paste. Place the saucepan over a low heat and cook, stirring constantly, until simmering. Remove from the heat and whisk in the vanilla and chocolate and stir until the chocolate is melted. The mixture will thicken as it cools slightly. Transfer chocolate to a fondue pot, and keep warm. Serve with cut fruit for dipping.

Steps:

• Sift the cocoa into mixing bowl and set aside. Place the water, sugar, and corn syrup into a pot and bring to boil. Allow to simmer for 10-15 minutes until sugar solution has reduced by about 30%. Pour the cocoa powder into the solution and blend with a whisk until smooth. Return the chocolate mixture to the stove and continue cooking over medium heat. Add heavy cream, bring to boil and allow to simmer for five minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in chopped chocolate. Pour into fondue pot and keep warm.

Steps:

• Thoroughly wash and dry strawberries and apples. Cut apples and banana into 3/4-inch-thick slices. Arrange all fruits and nuts on a plate. To make chocolate sauce, whisk together cocoa, sugar, and Splenda in a medium-sized bowl. Slowly pour in milk to make a paste. Mix together to remove lumps.
