You’re just 15 minutes away from indulging in a delightful Champagne White Chocolate Fondue experience! This easy dessert is perfect for any special occasion, whether it’s a holiday party, a New Year’s Eve gathering, or a romantic Valentine’s Day date. And the best part? You can make it effortlessly on the stovetop or in a Crock Pot!

If you’re hosting a party with friends, going to a potluck, or just having a laid-back evening at home, this dip is just what you need. It adds a touch of sweetness and elegance to any get-together. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed!

How to Make Chocolate Fondue:

Making this Champagne White Chocolate Fondue is a breeze. There’s no complicated cooking involved. All you have to do is melt the chocolate with a few other ingredients in a pot and serve it with your favorite dippers. Whether you choose the stovetop, fondue pot, or Crock Pot method, the result will be equally scrumptious!

Choosing the Best Chocolate for Fondue:

Since the entire dish revolves around chocolate, it’s crucial to opt for the highest quality chocolate available. I recommend using Ghirardelli chocolate chips and Baker’s Premium White Chocolate Baking Squares for the best results. Remember, the quality of the chocolate directly affects the taste of the fondue. However, if you prefer milk or dark chocolate, feel free to experiment!

Perfect Dippers for Your Fondue:

Wondering what goes well with this delightful fondue? Here are some of our favorite dippers to get you started:

• Frozen pound cake (thawed and diced into cubes)
• Assorted fruits: strawberries, raspberries, pineapple chunks, blackberries, bananas, apples, and mangoes
• Cookies and sweets: sugar cookies, shortbread cookies, gingerbread cookies, large marshmallows, graham crackers, Rice Krispies treats, and brownie squares
• Salty and crunchy dippers: pretzels, pretzel crisps, and crackers

Feel free to get creative and add your personal touch to the selection. The possibilities are endless!

Crock Pot Chocolate Fondue:

This recipe works perfectly for Crock Pot chocolate fondue, as well as the classic stovetop and fondue pot versions. But let’s keep things simple; we won’t be attempting a Chocolate Fondue Fountain! To make the entire batch in a slow cooker, just add all the ingredients and cook on LOW for about 45 minutes to 1 hour. Stir occasionally to ensure the chocolate melts evenly. You can keep it warm in the Crock Pot for another 1-2 hours.

Gluten-Free? Yes, it is!

Good news for gluten-free enthusiasts! This fondue itself is gluten-free, provided that you confirm your ingredient brands are certified gluten-free. However, make sure to choose gluten-free dippers as well to maintain a delicious and safe experience.

Make Ahead and Reheat:

Planning ahead? No problem! You can prepare this white chocolate fondue up to 1-2 hours in advance of your party. Simply keep it warm in a slow cooker until your guests are ready to enjoy the delightful experience.

As for any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. When you’re ready for round two, reheat the fondue in the microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring each time, until it’s completely melted.

Estimating Portion Sizes:

If you’re hosting a party, it’s helpful to estimate how much fondue you’ll need per guest. As a general rule, plan for about 1/4 cup of fondue per person. This recipe yields approximately 1 1/3 cups of fondue, enough to satisfy around 5+ people. If you’re entertaining a larger group, don’t hesitate to double, triple, or even quadruple the recipe!

How to Adjust the Fondue Consistency:

• For a thicker fondue, simply add more chocolate to the pot, or allow the fondue to cool slightly. It will naturally thicken as it sits.
• Alternatively, if you prefer a thinner consistency, add more cream, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired texture.

Cook’s Tips and Recipe Variations:

Before you embark on your fondue adventure, here are a few additional tips and variations:

• Substitute dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips and dark chocolate baking squares for the white chocolate.
• If you prefer an alcohol-free version, replace the champagne with an equal amount of additional heavy cream.
• For a quick and effortless melting method, try the microwave! Just heat the fondue in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until it’s smooth and creamy.
