Guest guest Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 Hi Susie, Do you use a small mini crock pot? This would be great for a potluck too, wouldn't it? Don't forget pretzels..............Sounds wonderful, Donna " artichoke72x " <artichoke72x wrote: i made this for valentine's day last year and it was amazing! i may have posted the recipe then, but wanted to share it again because it's just too good. i'm making it again this year. i'm gonna have diced pound cake, pirouline cookies, sugar wafers, graham crackers, strawberries, grapes, bananas, and marashino cherries to dip in the fondue. i don't have a fondue pot, i just use a small warmed bowl (and refill as necessary) and it works fine. CHOCOLATE AND COCONUT CREAM FONDUE 1 15-ounce can sweetened cream of coconut (such as Coco López) 12 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, finely chopped 1/4 cup whipping cream 1/4 teaspoon coconut extract Assorted fresh fruit (such as whole strawberries, 1-inch-thick slices banana, 1-inch cubes peeled cored pineapple, and tangerine segments) Combine sweetened cream of coconut and 12 ounces chocolate in heavy large saucepan. Stir mixture over very low heat until chocolate melts and mixture is smooth. Stir in whipping cream and extract. (Fondue can be prepared 8 hours ahead. Cover; store at room temperature. Stir over low heat to rewarm before serving.) Transfer mixture to fondue pot. Place over candle or canned heat burner. Serve with fruit for dipping. Makes 8 servings.

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 i make this for valentines each year...it's wonderful! i serve it with strawberries, bananas, marashino cherries, grapes, various cookies (pirolines, graham crackers, wafer cookies), and pound cake or angel food cake for dipping. i don't have a fondue pot and i just serve it in a small warmed bowl....that works just fine. enjoy!

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 -This looks wonderful. Fondue is so much fun. I can't wait to try this. I have a vey old book with Fondue recipes and would be happy to share with anyone interested . The warmed bowl idea is great. Bamboo/chop sticks work good for piercing food for dipping, or just plain old wooden toothpicks. Great way to get kids to eat fruit and veggies.
