Spiced Chocolate Fondue The chocolate in the fondue is flavored with warm spices like cinnamon and cardamom which brings just a hint of depth of flavor to the chocolate. Serve this spiced fondue with assorted fruit, Brown Sugar Bourbon Pound Cake, or, if you’re feeling a little wild, Vanilla Bean Old-Fashioned Doughnuts.

HOW TO MAKE IT

  3. Strain the cream, then return it to the cast-iron pot over medium-low heat, until the cream just barely simmers.
  4. Place the chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and leave it for a few minutes to melt the chocolate.
  5. Whisk until smooth, then pour the mixture into a fondue pot.
