A rich chocolate fondue with a little coffee kick. Serve with fruit, or pieces of leftover cake on skewers.
This is a great fondue with 1/3 freshly brewed coffee or cappuchino instead of the instant powder and water. A tip for the leftovers (because everyone else was right, this does make a lot!)... This recipie is essentialy a truffle recipie. Let the leftovers cool and then refrigerate. Round out small balls and roll in cocoa powder, powdered sugar or toadsted coconut. All of a sudden you have a new, gormet desert you can serve all over again and impress the crowds! Truffles also make great gifts when wrapped nicely!

I am 12 and I made this fondue by myself. Oranges, strawberries, pound cake, pineapple, apple, bananas, and marshmallows work best for dipping.
The need to entertain spur-of-the moment guests led me to this wonderful dessert recipe. Soooo simple and quick. I don't own a fondue pot, so I made it in a double boiler (without the water) and transferred it to a pretty chafing dish. This was so delicious, Sara. My company thoroughly enjoyed it with a variety of fresh fruit and pound cake. Try the Apricot Brandy Pound Cake (quick version made with Yellow cake mix) from this site. It freezes well and can be cut into cubes easily. I also had some chocolate pound cake from this site in the freezer. I had some 5 inch bamboo skewers left from another recipe that I gave each guest. They were happily threading the skewers with a variety of items, and wondering when I had had the time to prepare such a luscious dessert. They said the fondue was as good if not better than that at a local fondue restaurant. I will use this again and again.
We LOVE this recipe! I used 2 packages of milk chocolate chips on one bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips. I also followed the suggestions of ommitting the water. The results were OUTSTANDING! I had enough left over from a playdate to take to a bbq the same evening. I rewarmed the chocolate and added a little more milk to even it out. EVEN BETTER! Thank you so much for this recipe!
Great fondue recipe! Try skewering a combo of raspberries and sponge cake together before dipping. Bananas, marshmallows, or strawberries were great too. But, even after a party, I had at least 1 1/2 cups of chocolate left over. So, here's my idea for WHAT TO DO WITH THE LEFTOVER CHOCOLATE: reheat in the microwave, until melted; stir in walnuts. I used about 1 cup, but you can adjust it to your preference. Spray a rectangular glass pan (mine is a 6x9") with Pam, or line with wax paper, then pour the mix in. Layer tiny marshmallows, cut-up leftover marshmallows, or mashmallow fluff over the top. Cool, then refridgerate until relatively solid (overnight). Cut into squares, wrap individually with clear plastic wrap and VOILA! Homemade Rocky Road Fudge. It will be soft at room temp, so you might want to keep the fudge in the fridge or freezer. Makes a nice treat.
This was great. I also used the best chocolate that I could find (Ghiradelli) and reduced the coffee a bit...didn't want it to be too strong because the main eaters would be kids. It was great....Will make this many more times. Thanks.
Easy and very delicious. Used milk chocolate chips intead of grating the chocolate. I made this for a potluck at work and everyone loved it. (I didn't put the coffee in either) I warmed it up in the microwave and it stayed warm and perfect for an hour and a half!
This was amazing! It did make a ton and we have lots left over. We dipped some pound cake and strawberries and also apples and marshmellows. The marshmellows went really fast and everyone was surprised that they liked that one so much! I used really good chocolate too so I think that helped. I used Ghiradelli's milk chocolate and a package of the double chocolate too. Amazing!!
Fantastic recipe! Instead of using the coffee, I used a shot of Bailey's. It was excellent! I also added crushed Oreo cookies to the chocolate mixture (about 4 cookies crushed). We dipped pineapple, banana, apple, Oreos and large marshmallows covered in Oreo crumbs.
I left out the water and that seems to have taken care of the thiness that others who rated complained of. Delicious and super easy.
Deserves a 5-star rating, hands down. This recipe is absolutely divine! I used Ghiradelli chocolate as well.
A great recipe! We made it for a kid's Valentine's Day party. It was a big hit with the kids AND adults. Then we watched Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (the DVD edition is GREAT- lots of extras). One tip- be sure to dissolve the instant coffee in the 1/3 cup of water. Also, I prepared the mixture in the microwave instead of on the stove. The consistency was perfect. The chocolate I used 3 bags (11.5 ounce size) of Hershey's choc. chips- 2 milk & 1 semi-sweet. For dipping we used: Nilla vanilla wafers, mini pretzels, crispy wafer strips (vanilla, chocolate & strawberry), pound cake cubes, marshmallows (great with just chocolate or dip then roll in a dish of crushed graham crackers to make s'mores- VERY YUMMY!- these were a BIG hit), and finally some frozen banana slices. We saved leftover fondue (lots leftover) to use as hot fudge sauce or as a base for hot chocolate (about 1 Tablespoon / mug of hot milk).
So easy but it makes a lot of fondue. I made homemade candy bars out of our leftovers. In a greased baking pan I layered chocolate, rice crispies cereal, melted caramels and more chocolate. I put this in the refrigerator and served it the next day.
This was such an easy recipe...I had a lot leftover since we only had a small group. The leftovers freeze very well & it's easy to thaw (double boiler). It makes a nice fudge/truffle like consistency...So, I made a basic no-bake cheesecake recipe & rolled the cheesecake into little balls. Then I took the cold chocolate and rolled it over the cheesecake. Truffles with a cheesecake filling! Yummy! :)
EXCELLENT!! The thickness is just right! I used half dark chocolate and half milk chocolate, used kalua liquor instead of coffee, and omitted the sugar. I don't like it too sweet, and it was perfect!
Great! I would make sure to dissolve the coffee granules in the hot water first. That wasn't clear in the recipe. Coffee added a nice flavor.
This was wonderful! The coffee added a really nice flavor! We dipped with marshmellows, pound cake, strawberries, and cherries. YUMMY!
I thought this was a good fondu, everyone else at the party absolutely RAVED about it! As suggested, I omitted the water and used 2 bags milk chocolate chips with one bag semi-sweet chocolate chips. You can't taste the coffee (even though I put it in) but when comparing side-by-side to one without coffee, the one without is lacking a certain depth of richness!
YUMMM! You should expect to get a mocha flavor with this recipe. I downscaled the servings to 12, and it served 2 for desert with half leftover. I used a 7 oz. Symphony candy bar and 1/4 c. cream. A perfect end to a nice romantic evening of fondue at home. I didn't have luck with warming it up the next day; at the least, I wouldn't try it in the microwave again. But for flavor, this competes with my favorite at a local, wonderful, fondue restaurant!!!
great taste, but there is no need to add the hot water. it is already very creamy, adding water will spoil the taste. Tip: cook on low heat, place the cram in before the chocolate, and keep on stirring to keep the chocolate from burning
Excellent - I used semi-sweet chocolate chips. It was an absolute hit at my house warming party. I served with fresh pineapple, strawberries and bananas. I even had some pretzels out that some enjoyed dipping.
Delicious and easy to make. Was worried about not using a double boiler but as long as you use medium heat and keep and eye on it, a saucepan works fine. Substituted 1 TBL Kahula for instant coffee powder and used 2 (11.5 oz each) bags of milk chocolate chips and 1 bag (11.5 oz) semi-sweet chocolate chips. Served with apple slices, bananas, strawberries, kiwi and marshmallow. Friends want to have a 'fondue party' now! Will make again.
I would give this recipe 10 stars if I had the option!!! We dipped strawberries, pretzle sticks, pound cake, bananas, marshmallows...just about anything we could find! Everybody raved!
Loved this recipe!!! I used milk chocolate chips and omitted the water. It was the perfect consistency for fondue.
One suggestion to reduce the lumpiness, heat the cream before adding the chocolate! I also added more cream and a little less chocolate. No coffee, no water. And we mixed milk with semi-sweet. It was awesome but made a ton! Could have reduced it to half even for 4 people who are big eaters!
Took this to Super Bowl party yesterday...what a hit! Very popular especially with the young crowd! Used bamboo skewers to dip angel food cake and large marshmallows to roll in crushed graham crackers. Also served pretzel rods along side to use as dippers. I used 2-12 oz. bags of milk chocolate chips and about 3/4 bag of semi-sweet chips, along with 1/3 c hot brewed coffee (that I dissolved the sugar in first). Came out smooth and delicious! For all of you concerned about the coffee flavor, it is not predominate and adds a deep richness. It does make a lot, as I had leftovers even after a large party with teenage boys! Will definately make this again. Thanks Sara!
This recipe is definately worth a 5 star. not only was it easy to mix, ingredients were easy to come by. I never liked the fondues with wine so this recipe especially suited my taste. definately worth making and will definately make again. one advice is just to be patient when melting the chocolate and use low heat as specified.
The best, easiest chocolate fondue! I have been making fondue for years, using expensive chocolate and spending a lot of time "stirring constantly"! This is SO much easier. Instead of grating the chocolate, I used half milk chocolate and half semi-sweet chocolate chips. Instead of the coffee, I used a few splashes of Kahlua (would've used Bailey's but we were out). That's it! Made it in a non-stick fondue pot right on the stove top and then put over the flame on low. Served with nice cold strawberries and graham crackers. Also great leftover!
So good and so easy! I did substitute Kahlua for the coffee and water. I served it with fresh strawberries, cubed pound cake, cut up slices of frozen cheese cake, and some leftover Christmas sugar cookies that I found in my freezer! OUr favorites were the strawberries and pound cake. For my husband and I for Valentine's day I used only 1/4 of the recipe. We still had enough leftovers to have dessert again a few nights later. I just popped it in the microwave for 30 sec. I have also taken the left over refrigerated fondue and rolled it into little balls and rolled into coconut. They made very good truffles! I will definitely make again, maybe for my next dinner party!
This was Excellent. Where I work, instead of bringing in treats for your own birthday, we make them for eachother. The Birthday girl loves chocolate so I made this and kept it warm in a small crockpot. I used Ghiradelli Chocolate and omitted the coffee. I brought in Stawberries, Pineapple, Apples, Angel Food & Pound Cake and Shortbread cookies for dippers. It was a HUGE hit. Even me, who is not a big chocolate fan, loved it. This will be a staple for the holidays!
I didn't add the coffee because I didn't want it affect the flavor. I also used high end chocolate chips but next time I will use chocolate bars because it tasted a little like melted chocolate chips (not as good). This is a great basic recipe that even first time fonduers like me can make.
This is awesome! I have made it for years and Feel guilty for not rating sooner. It makes tons of chocolate so it's great for a large party, otherwise I would 1/2 the recipe. I dip pretzels, cake, fruits, marshmellows (then roll in crushed grahm crackers) and pretty much anything else. People love when I bring this to their house. I usually bring it in a glass bowl and microwave it on 50% for 2 minutes then 30 second increments and stir between until smooth. It stays melted for quite some time without being heated in a fondue pot.
This was ok. I have tasted a better chocolate fondue. Taste the coffee flavor too much!
We made this last night and everyone LOVED it! There were a few in our group who don't like coffee, so I substituted 3 Tbsp. Kahlua Mudslide for the instant coffee. It actually sat on the stove for an hour before I transfered it to the fondue pot, and it stayed very smooth, not grainy at all! Needless to say, we were all sick when we were done! Sick, but happy!
Tasted SCRUMPTIOUS! However, not having heavy cream on hand I substituted 1/4 milk and 1 tspn coffeemate for the heavy cream of same quantity (I downscaled the recipe to serve for 20). I'm a big fan of dark chocolate and this tasted similarly despite the fact that we used milk chocolate chips. I agree that it was thin, so just add water lasted to desired consistency.
Excellent! Adjusted the recipe to fit my 16 oz mini crockpot little dipper. Melted the ingredients in a sauce pan first then tranfered >>> 2 cups (11.5 oz) ghirardelli milk chocolate chips, 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1 tablespoon water (optional), no instant coffee (due to having kids around). Since the party ended up being an all day thing, I had to plug and unplug the crockpot a couple of times just enough for the chocolate to be warm and not too hot to burn the kiddies. If a cord is not available, just use a bowl and just reheat in microwave. I had used pretzels, strawberries, cubed rice krispies. We also had a little bit left for the next day use; slighty reheat and drizzle over sliced bananas (all we had) for breakfast. It's also great drizzled over vanilla ice cream.
I made this but left out the coffee. My son helped me prepare and cook the sauce, and the whole family enjoyed eating it FOR dinner!! Left over chocolate makes excellent icecream sauce once it has cooled mmmmm mmmm goooood
Excellent! And note, this recipe makes 48 servings! Which came out to just under 2 litres. And you don't really need the sugar if you use semi-sweet or sweet chocolate.
I made this for a party of 20 people, and was worried I'd have too little dip (I sliced up a bunch of bananas, a poundcake and a large box of strawberries) and even then, at the end, more than half remained. I agree with the others--the coffee and water weren't needed at all, and the chocolate had a creamy texture. I loved how it stayed smooth and didn't become grainy. I will definitely make this again, but probably halve the recipe.
This fondue surprised me how fast, easy, delicious and the perfect consisteny it came out! Dipped with strawberries, bannannas, fruit cake, marshmallows and dried fruit. I only made half the recipe for 4 people and ended with a lot of leftovers, so beware.
I used 1 bag of Semi sweet and 2 bags of milk choc as suggested, left out coffee and water, and I made a HUGE plate of pineapple, bananas, pound cake, marshmallows,strawberries and my guests ate it ALL! This is delish, but without the water is VERY thick and fudgy. I will try adding the water next time. Left out due to other suggestions, but it was SO good even without it! YUMMY!!!
Delicous and easy! I omitted the water per other reviewers and used decaf coffee because of a kiddo. Also I halved the recipe and still had left overs after serving 3. Used pound cake, strawberries, and marshmellows. I would suggest putting cake in the fridge or freezer before serving to keep it from falling apart in the chocolate.
Creamy, rich chocolate fondue. I served it with an inexpensive frozen pound cake and fresh strawberries. Delicious!
i took everyone else's advice and used chocolate chips and skipped the water. i used a bag of milk chocolate and a half a bag of semi-sweet b/c that's what i had laying around; next time, i'd probably just use a bag of milk chocolate as i'm not a fan of darker chocolate and that little bit made a difference. i just used one small container of cream b/c i hate to buy two for just a small amount more. and i skipped the coffee b/c i decided i wanted to put in some kahlua instead. (definitely didn't put enough in.) but overall, consistency and flavor were great even with all the shortcuts i took and my fiance loved it, chocoholic that he is.
FANTASTIC!!!! I left out the coffee, but the chocolate dip was delicious. We reheated it and had it the next night, too and it was just as wonderful!
This was quick and easy. I halved the recipe and there was still lots leftover. All in all, it's a nice basic recipe for chocolate fondue. I'd like to get really creative with this and try addinf cookie crumbs or maybe mint flavorings..
I did this in a small crock pot which elimimated the need to grate the chocolate - a real time saver. Turn it on low for about 1 hour with all the ingredients. I omitted the sugar and didn't miss it. It was the hit at my New Year's Eve party. I served it with frozen pound cake (it holds it's shape better when frozen), fresh strawberries, and canned pineapple chunks. Fortunately, I doubled the receipe! It was that good.
This has been VERY popular at several parties!!! Freezes very well if made ahead or for leftovers. Just thaw and re-melt in the microwave. Great with fresh pineapple or pound cake for dipping too.
Yeah Baby! I added a bit more heavy cream for good measure then poured it into a chocolate fountain. Even those who don't care much for chocolate (huh?) get into it.
Was a huge hit at my New Year's Eve Party! Both adults & kids enjoyed it. I used President's Choice chocolate chips (1 bag semi-sweet & 2 bags milk chocolate) & it turned out great. Super easy recipe. Served with strawberries, banana slices, apple chunks, orange pieces, mini pretzels, and cream puffs. Can't wait to make this one again! Had lots left over so may 1/2 recipe next time.
Wow! What an easy and delicious fondue! I took the advice of other reviewers and eliminated the water. It was the perfect consistency for dipping marshmallows, graham crackers and pretzels. I also used two shots of Bailey's Irish Cream in lieu of the coffee and it was fabulous. I am sure you could add any favorite liquer (Bailey's, Grand Marnier, etc) and customize the flavor.
I made this for myself and husband New Year's eve..Very Good! We dipped Bananas,Pinapple and Strawberries. Very easy to make and turned out great, Thanks!
This is a nice basic chocolate recipe. I have used similar over the years and just needed the basic portions of chocolate to cream. I used semi-sweet chocolate chips (24 oz) and 1 cup heavy whipping cream and a little vanilla. I did not use the coffee, I am sure it would taste great with it but with company I wasn't sure if everyone liked coffee. And I didn't add the extra surar. We dipped pound cake, strawberries, marshmellows, banannas, apples, and pretzels (not a big winner). If your fondue winds up a little thick add a little heavy whipping cream and thin it to the consistancy you like. If it is too thin add more chocolate!!!
Just like hot fudge you would put on a sundae! If you are a choco-holic...this one is for YOU!!!!
This was ahhhmazing!!! I couldn't decide between this one or the Flaming Turtle recipe from The Melting Pot so I mixed the recipes together. I did this one first, except I probably doubled the coffee granuals and skipped the water and sugar, just heated a bit of the cream in the microwave and disolved the coffee in there. Then I added about a 1/2 a cup of caramel ice cream topping and a cup of toasted pecans. In fairness to this recipe, I tasted it before I tweaked and it was perfect. I just wanted caramel and pecans!! We were fishing and fighting for the pecans and the caramel gives a great texture that coats dippers well. I'd serve this to guests either way in a heartbeat, I loved the coffee kick! Thanks! :)
I made this recipe for a holiday party. My husband likes dark chocolate, so I used bitter sweet chocolate (rather than milk chocolate). It was especially good with oranges and strawberries.
This is an excellent recipe! I used this to make fondue for the first time, and it turned out great.
Awesome! I used half milk chocolate, half dark chocolate -- otherwise I think this would be sickeningly sweet. I also used brewed coffee in place of the hot water/instant coffee. The coffee taste wasn't very noticeable, just enough to make a nice dipping consistency. Made it in the crock pot, as another reviewer suggested -- melted chocolate and cream together on low for 2 hours, then add the coffee and sugar. Perfect! The pot was licked clean.
I used a store brand milk chocolate chunks and it was so good! It didn't really have a 'coffee' flavor to me - it tasted more like brownie mix!
Kids and adults loved it. The alcohol is not a factor as it only adds flavor to the chocolate.
This is super easy & very yummy! I actually just use milk chocolate chips & only 1 tsp instant coffee. Yummy!
i have made this many times in order to mimic the melting pot's fondue. it always turns out fantastic. i substitute a liquor such as amaretto for the instant coffee. it goes well with basic fondue recipe room this site (i half the recipe and subtitute beer for the milk). i also always make the cream cheese pound cake I recipe from the site to dip in the chocolate fondue. mm, heaven!
this was awesome!! even though i used baking chocolate and did not add any water or coffee it was delicious! But the next time i make it i may add coarsely ground nut for an extra crunch, which i feel would make this fondue, Perfect
Excellent and so simple to make! I came to the site, picked this recipe, and made it that day for a wedding shower luncheon for my daughter. Instead of coffe, I added Kalua as someone suggested. We used strawberries, kiwi fruit, bananas, apples and pretzels. Everybody loved this dessert and I must thank you for the rave reviews I got!
we dont like coffee, so we left it out. this was so YUMMY! i only made a 1/2 recipe as we were making 3 courses, and it was plenty for 4 of us. yummy with marshmallows and bananas.
This was delicious and so easy. As suggested in some previous reviews, I used 2 bags of milk chocolate morsels and one bag semi-sweet (Ghiradelli), and I did not add the hot water or sugar. It tasted delicious, but next time I may add a little water, it was just a little thick.
This was good. Nothing spectacular but it was fun too make with my daughter and even more fun to eat. I didn't use the coffee because I didn't have any but it was still good.
Absolutely perfect. Made for a party and not one drop left! After reading some other reviews, I used 2 bags (11.5 oz. ea.) milk chocolate chips and 1 12 oz. bag of semi-sweet chips. Will be my go-to recipe for a chocolate fondue.
I did this in white chocolate and it was a HIT! I sprinkled a bit of cinnamon in it for a kick and it was just heavenly.
This was awesome! Very simple, melted nicely, and tasted great. It makes A TON, so maybe next time I'll cut the recipe in half.
Easy recipe with great results. I made it in my fondue pot, and used Homestead Buttermilk instead of heavy cream. I also premixed my water and coffee.
I made this for a special evening with friends. Everyone loved it! I halved the recipe and substituted Bailey's for the coffee because we like it better. We didn't actually get to eat it until after we came back from the play. We reheated it in the microwave but it lost some of its smoothness. Still, everything we dipped in this chocolate fondue, especially strawberries, was delectable!
Very good. For dipping, we used green and red apples, orange sections, strawberries and angel food cake. I used brewed coffee instead of instant coffee. I should have added more (I used 2 tbsp, next time I'll try 1/4 to 1/3 cup).
This was the best chocolate fondue I have ever tasted. I halved the recipe, used chocolate chips instead grated chocolate, and substituted Kahlua for the coffee. I also made mine in a double boiler (a glass bowl over a saucepan of water - the best way to melt chocolate) and then transferred it to a small slow cooker on the warm setting. Other than that I followed the recipe exactly and it was incredible. This is the recipe I will be using every time I make chocolate fondue from now on.
The was great--and SO easy. I used milk chocolate morsels instead of shaved block chocolate. I will definitely make this again. It saves nicely too--makes a fabulous hot fudge sauce the next day!
This was an incredibly easy fondue to make. I completely omitted the coffee, and I added a bit more sugar to make it sweeter. I halved the recipe, but still had a ton left over so I used someone's suggestion and made truffles - a bonus second dessert from the same recipe! I will definitely use this the next time I need chocolate fondue.
After reading most of the reviews I made this recipe and have a helpful idea. I warmed the cream in the microwave, added the chocolate chips and most of them melted by just stirring into the warm cream. Only returned to the MW for about 1 minutes longer. I'm going to put the cold chocolate into my electric fondue pot tomorrow night to melt. I already tasted it and it really is GOOD!!
We used this for my son's party. The flavor is amazing. I didn't have coffee, so I left that out as well as the water. I also used 2 bags milk chocolate chips and 1 bag semi chocolate chips. Everyone loved the flavor - it was a hit at the party - thanks!
Easy wonderful dessert. Easy to make until smooth on the stovetop, then we transferred to our 70's electric fondue pot. Scewered bananas, pound cake (made with rum), strawberries, Granny Smith apples, marshmallows....so good. No need to do the instant coffee thing....some minted Baileys (1/2 cup) did the trick for a luscious treat.
The coffee is just enough without being over powering. Everything is good for dipping but my favorite were the raspberries.
I made this for New Years Eve and it turned out rich and smooth. I used International flavored coffee instead of instant coffee granules. Recommended!
Thinned out the next day with heavy cream. A huge hit. The fondue was attacked daily and it still took us a week to finish it off.
Try adding a big scoop of peanut butter and dipping toasted marshmellow, pineapple, and cheesecake.
Very easy and tasty. I made it for Valentine's day and my boyfriend and I loved it. I used chocolate chips like some of the other reviewers (spent a little more for Ghirardelli and used 2 bags of bittersweet, one bag of milk because we prefer dark chocolate). We both preferred fruit and pretzels as dippers to cake and vanilla wafers (too sweet). And yes, it makes A LOT. If I made this again for 2-6 people, I would halve the recipe. One reviewer suggested making truffles out of the leftovers, which sounds like a great idea but I haven't tried it. Bought a tiny crock pot at a thrift store for the occasion, so I'll probably making this again -- it would be great for a party!
Yum! We made this for New Year's Eve, and I followed the recipe to a T. The chocolate was so creamy and smooth. We dipped strawberries, bananas, kiwis, marshmallows and pound cake. The only thing I wish I had done, was cut the recipe in half. There were only five of us, and I think that we'll be eating fondue for a week (not that that's a bad thing!).
Excellent recipe! The coffee gives added flavor, yet no one can tell that there is coffe in it - not like a mocha. Have made this several times and friends and family all love it.
Scaled this to 16 servings for 4 people. Used Callebaut Belgian chocolate chippits from the bulk store. Calls for 11 oz. but I ended up with almost a pound (used 1/2 milk and 1/2 dark). Added enough cream to make it the right consistency (about 1/2 a cup). Did not add water and I'm not really sure why it needs the sugar. Added the 1 tsp. instant coffee granules but could not taste coffee - I think it just gave it depth. A beautiful sophisticated taste, and the consistency was perfect. It adhered nicely to the fruit without alot of dripping.
