Categories     dessert

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup heavy cream (see Cook's note)
4 cinnamon sticks
8 ounces finely chopped semisweet chocolate
Cubed pound cake
Mini-bananas
Fresh or dried orange slices
Fresh or dried pears
Almond cookies
Coconut strips
Strawberries

Steps:

  • In small saucepan over medium heat, bring the cream and cinnamon sticks just to boil. Remove from the heat and set aside to steep for 15 minutes. Remove the cinnamon and discard.
  • Put the chocolate in a medium bowl. Bring the cream to a simmer, pour it over the chocolate, and let stand for 5 minutes. Stir the chocolate mixture until completely melted and smooth. Transfer the chocolate mixture to a fondue pot, and keep warm over a low sterno flame or in a large ramekin wrapped with a cloth napkin to keep it warm. Serve with a selection of the dippers.
  • Cook's note: This makes a thick fondue, for a thinner sauce, simply add more cream.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cheese: A good Mexican fondue starts with a blend of meltable cheeses. Oaxaca and Chihuahua cheeses are classic choices, but you can also use Monterey Jack, pepper Jack, or Asadero cheese.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh vegetables, fruits, and herbs will add flavor and color to your fondue. Choose ripe, in-season produce whenever possible.
  • Don't overcrowd the fondue pot: If you add too much food to the pot at once, it will be difficult to cook evenly. Cook the food in batches if necessary.
  • Keep the fondue warm: A fondue pot should be kept over low heat so that the cheese stays melted and bubbly. If the cheese starts to cool, you can reheat it in the microwave or on the stovetop.
  • Serve with a variety of dipping options: Tortilla chips, bread cubes, vegetables, and fruit are all popular choices for dipping in Mexican fondue. You can also serve the fondue with a side of salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.

Conclusion:

Mexican fondue is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its creamy, cheesy texture and endless dipping options, it's the perfect party food. So next time you're looking for a fun and easy way to entertain your friends and family, give Mexican fondue a try!
