Indulge in the decadence of Raspberry Fondue, a dessert that perfectly balances tangy fruitiness with rich, velvety chocolate. This luscious creation combines fresh raspberries simmered with sugar and a hint of lemon juice to create a vibrant, seedless raspberry sauce, which is then folded into a smooth mixture of warmed heavy cream and semi-sweet chocolate. The result is an irresistible fondue that’s perfect for dipping fresh fruit, marshmallows, pound cake, or even salty pretzels. Ready in just 20 minutes and serving up to four, this quick and elegant treat is perfect for romantic evenings, special gatherings, or as an impressive ending to any meal. Raspberry Fondue brings together the best of simplicity and sophistication, making it a go-to for dessert lovers.
In a medium saucepan, combine the fresh raspberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice.
Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the raspberries release their juices and the mixture begins to simmer, about 5 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water until smooth.
Slowly pour the cornstarch mixture into the simmering raspberry mixture while stirring constantly.
Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes, or until the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat and strain through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds. Let the raspberry sauce cool for a few minutes.
In a separate small saucepan, warm the heavy cream over medium-low heat until it just starts to steam (do not boil).
Reduce the heat to low and add the semi-sweet chocolate chips to the cream, stirring until completely smooth and melted.
Gently fold the raspberry sauce into the melted chocolate mixture until fully incorporated.
Transfer the raspberry fondue to a fondue pot or a heat-safe serving bowl. Keep warm over a low flame or serve immediately.
Serve with an assortment of dippers such as fresh fruit (strawberries, banana slices, apple slices), marshmallows, pound cake cubes, or pretzels. Enjoy!
