This recipe is purportedly the original recipe for chocolate fondue. Three ingredients make a dessert that leaves a lasting impression with its decadence.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 3 (3-ounce) bars Toblerone
  • 1/2 cup light or heavy cream
  • 2 Tablespoons Kirsch brandy or Cointreau

Preparation:

Break the Toblerone chocolate into separate triangular pieces. Combine Toblerone, cream, and brandy in a saucepan or small chafing dish. Stir over low heat until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Serve fondue in a chafing dish or fondue pot over low heat.

For dunkables, serve each person a plate with one, or a combination, of the following:

Angelfood cake or ladyfingers, cut in chunks
Orange or tangerine sections
Sliced strawberries or bananas
Profiteroles or puff pastry


Note: This is purportedly the original recipe for chocolate fondue created in the 1950's at New York's Chalet Suisse Restaurant (no longer in business) by Chef Konrad Egli.

Yield: 4 servings
