Steps:
- Put the chocolate in a large mixing bowl. Pour the cream into a saucepan with the sugar and bring to a simmer, stirring continuously until the sugar is melted. Bring to the boil, then quickly remove from the heat, pour over the chocolate and whisk until smooth and glossy. Use straight away or leave to cool down a little until thick enough to spread on a cake. Alternatively, leave to cool completely, then beat with an electric whisk until light and fluffy and spread on a cake.

LIGHTER CHOCOLATE FONDUE (OR GANACHE)
This is an amazingly dark, rich and sinful fondue with a lot less fat. Make sure to use the best quality chocolate you can get your hands on, since that is your main flavor here. I have listed the things we like to dip in our fondue; other ideas are cherries, dried apricots, walnut halves, marshmallows or anything else that sounds good to you! This could also be used as a ganache. I always wondered if I could make a lower fat ganache without whipping cream, and here it is (and surprisingly, it takes almost the same)! Use to frost cupcakes or fill cakes. Slightly adapted recipe from Ellie Krieger's Healthy Appetite on Food Network.

Steps:
- Cut angel food cake into bite size wedges.
- Peel and cut banana into one inch chunks. Core and slice the pear or apple.
- Place the bananas, pears and strawberries on a serving platter. Squeeze orange wedge over banana and pear (or apple) and mix gently.
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together cocoa powder and sugar. Slowly pour in evaporated milk, all the while whisking, to make a paste.
- Place the saucepan over low to medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until chocolate base is simmering.
- Remove pot from heat and whisk in vanilla and chocolate. Keep stirring until chocolate is completely melted. The mixture will be quite thick.
- Transfer chocolate to a fondue pot to keep warm. If you do not have a fondue pot, try serving the fondue in a warmed ceramic bowl.
- Dip fruit in chocolate. Spoon chocolate over angel food cake (it is too delicate for dipping) and enjoy!
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator. Rewarm by microwaving 35-45 seconds, stirring every 10 seconds.
Tips:
- For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60%.
- If you don't have heavy cream, you can use milk instead. However, the fondue will be thinner.
- To make the fondue even lighter, you can use half-and-half instead of heavy cream.
- If you want a vegan fondue, you can use coconut milk instead of heavy cream.
- To make the fondue more flavorful, you can add a variety of spices, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, or chili powder.
- You can also add other ingredients to the fondue, such as chopped nuts, dried fruit, or even bacon.
- Serve the fondue with a variety of dipping items, such as fruit, cookies, or marshmallows.
Conclusion:
Chocolate fondue is a delicious and easy dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is perfect for parties or special occasions. With a few simple ingredients, you can make a delicious chocolate fondue that is sure to impress your guests.
