Chocolate-Frangelico Fondue
Source: Cooking Light
1/3 cup half-and-half
1/4 cup skim milk
8 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
1 1/4 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons Frangelico (hazelnut-flavored liqueur)
2 tablespoons dark corn syrup
4 cups (1-inch) cubed angel food cake (about 3 ounces)
2 cups sliced bananas
2 cups quartered small strawberries
In a medium saucepan, combine the half-and-half, skim milk and chocolate. Cook over medium-low heat for 5 minutes or until smooth, stirring constantly. Stir in the sugar, water, Frangelico and corn syrup. Cook for 10 minutes or until the mixture is smooth, stirring constantly. Pour into a fondue pot. Keep warm over low flame. Serve with cake, banana and strawberries. Makes 8 servings.
Cook's note: This creamy chocolate fondue will coat best if the banana and strawberries are briefly chilled before serving. You can substitute your favorite liqueur for the Frangelico.
