Orange ice cream with Chocolate fondue 橙味雪糕火鍋

In my opinion, banana, strawberries, oranges are always go well with Chocolate. So when we have chocolate fondue, banana, marshmallow, strawberries are always on my menu. And many times, when I was in Hong Kong, Häagen-Dazs Hong Kong has Chocolate Fondue set for sell. It includes a Fondue pots with varieties of ice cream mini scoops and chocolate sauce. They have dine in or take away offer. Petite set is HK$298 and Classic set is HK$429

I never have chance to buy that in Canada as it is not available for sell here. Why not I make it?

Chocolate Fondue

Ingredients

• 10 ounces bittersweet chocolate or 10 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped into small pieces
• 1/2-3/4 cup milk (or 1/2 to 3/4 cup milk plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter) or 1/2-3/4 cup half-and-half (or 1/2 to 3/4 cup milk plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter) or 1/2-3/4 cup heavy cream ( or 1/2 to 3/4 cup milk plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1. To make the sauce, in a small bowl, combine the chocolate and 1/2 cup milk or cream and melt gently in a barely simmering water bath or microwave on Medium (50 percent) power for about 2 minutes.
2. Stir until smooth.
3. Add more liquid if the sauce seems too thick or look curdled.
4. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla.
5. Use warm fondue immediately or set aside until needed and rewarm briefly.
6. Have forks, skewers, or pretty (or goofy) swizzle sticks available for guests to dip with.
7. If the fondue gets too thick or cool, reheat gently (without boiling) for 1 minute in the microwave on Medium (50percent) power or set in a pan of barely simmering water.
8. Leftover sauce keeps several days in the refrigerator.
9. It is a prefect topping for ice cream too.
