Ingredients

  • 6 ounces mexican chocolate, coarsely chopped (2 tablets)
  • 2 ounces milk chocolate, coarsely chopped
  • 14 cup heavy cream, plus 1-2 tbsp as needed
  • 12 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 pinch kosher salt
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper
  • 2 tablespoons triple sec or 2 tablespoons Grand Marnier

Method

  • In a small fondue pot over very low heat, or in a double boiler over simmering water, combine the Mexican and milk chocolates and the cream and cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture is creamy and the chocolate has completely melted.
  • Add the vanilla, cinnamon, salt, cayenne, and Triple Sec and stir to combine.
  • If the mixture is too thick, stir in the 1-2 tablespoons cream as needed to create a good dipping consistency.
  • Before serving, make sure the heat source under the fondue pot is set to very low just to keep the chocolate warm.
  • Or, if making in a double boiler, transfer the hot chocolate mixture to a flameproof serving dish set on a raised trivet over tea lights.
  • Serve right away with fondue forks and the accompaniments for dipping.
