Ingredients
- 1 cup pure maple syrup
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon cold water
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the pure maple syrup, heavy cream, and butter.
Step 2
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir gently as the ingredients melt together.
Step 3
Allow the mixture to come to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to ensure the ingredients are fully incorporated and do not stick to the pan.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with cold water, stirring until it forms a smooth slurry.
Step 5
Once the maple mixture is simmering, reduce the heat to low and stir in the cornstarch slurry. Continue stirring for 1-2 minutes, or until the fondue thickens slightly.
Step 6
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract for added flavor.
Step 7
Transfer the warm fondue into a heat-safe fondue pot or bowl if serving immediately. Keep it warm using a fondue burner or tea candle.
Step 8
Serve with an assortment of dippable items, like fresh fruits (apple slices, strawberries, or bananas), cubed pound cake, marshmallows, or pretzel sticks.
