LIGHTER CHOCOLATE FONDUE (OR GANACHE)



Lighter Chocolate Fondue (Or Ganache) image

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.

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 angel food cake
1 banana
1 pears or 1 apple
1 (16 ounce) container strawberries, hulled
1 teaspoon orange juice (1 wedge for squeezing)
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, natural (for baking)
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup fat-free evaporated milk (or low fat)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 ounces dark chocolate, 60 to 70 percent cocoa solids, chips or finely chopped

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.

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Dipping foods
1 pint fresh strawberries
1 red apple, cored and sliced
1 green apple, cored and sliced
1 banana
1/4 cup jumbo cashews
1/4 cup Brazil nuts
Light chocolate sauce
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons Splenda Granular
1/2 cup skim evaporated milk
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Thoroughly wash and dry strawberries and apples. Cut apples and banana into 3/4-inch-thick slices. Arrange all fruits and nuts on a plate. To make chocolate sauce, whisk together cocoa, sugar, and Splenda in a medium-sized bowl. Slowly pour in milk to make a paste. Mix together to remove lumps. Transfer to a medium-sized saucepan and bring to a low boil over low heat, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Transfer chocolate sauce to fondue pot. Place pot over candle or canned heat burner. Slide fruit pieces onto fondue fork or toothpick and dip into sauce. For nuts, spoon sauce onto a plate and dip nuts in sauce by hand.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate: The better the chocolate, the better the fondue. Look for a chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60%.
  • Don't overheat the chocolate: Overheating can cause the chocolate to seize and become grainy. Heat the chocolate slowly and gently, stirring constantly.
  • Add a little bit of milk or cream: This will help to make the fondue smooth and creamy. You can also add other flavors, such as vanilla extract, cinnamon, or chili powder.
  • Serve the fondue with a variety of dippers: Some popular dippers include strawberries, bananas, marshmallows, and pretzels. You can also serve the fondue with pieces of cake or brownies.
  • Keep the fondue warm: If you're serving the fondue at a party, keep it warm by placing it in a fondue pot or slow cooker. You can also reheat the fondue in the microwave.

Conclusion:

Low-fat chocolate fondue is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to enjoy chocolate without all of the guilt. With a few simple tips, you can make a low-fat chocolate fondue that is just as delicious as the traditional version.
