Fondue base

Method

Method

  1. 1

    Make the white chocolate fondue

    In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the heavy cream just until it begins to steam. Add the white chocolate chips and whisk slowly until melted and smooth. Remove from heat, then whisk in the vanilla extract and salt. If using a fondue pot, transfer to the pot and keep warm.

  2. 2

    Prep the fruit

    Wash and dry the strawberries, hull and slice them. Cut pineapple into bite-sized chunks. Slice bananas into rounds or halves as desired. Arrange fruit on a serving platter.

  3. 3

    Coat the gelato scoops

    Place the white chocolate gelato scoops on a parchment-lined tray. Roll each scoop in shredded coconut and toss with toasted sliced almonds until evenly coated. Return coated scoops to the tray and freeze for 10–15 minutes to set the coating.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Transfer the fondue to a warm fondue pot or small serving bowl. Arrange the coated gelato scoops and prepared fruit alongside. Offer skewers or forks for dipping.

  5. 5

    Tips

    If the fondue thickens, whisk in a splash of warm cream or a touch more cream until dipping consistency is reached. Keep coatings crisp by serving gelato scoops soon after coating.
