Man do I love me some Chocolate Fondue! Here's a sinless recipe you can
make in less than 10 minutes. I found it on About.com and made it this
weekend. It was delicious!!!
Ingredients:
* 2/3 cup dry unsweetened Dutch cocoa powder
* 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
* 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
* 1 cup milk
* 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 1/2 cup agave nectar*
Preparation:
Place cocoa powder, cinnamon, salt, and milk in a blender. Pulse until
combined. Pour mixture into a heavy saucepan and bring to a boil. Lower
heat and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring often, until thickened. Remove
from heat and let cool for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Whisk in
sugar substitute (agave nectar) and vanilla, stirring until dissolved
and smooth.
Pour into a fondue pot to keep warm and serve with fruit slices as
dippers.
Yield: 8 servings (1/4 cup each)
*According to AllAboutAgave.com agave makes a good substitute for sugar for a variety of reasons. Agave
nectar is a real sugar, as opposed to an artificial or
non-nutritive sweetener. It has properties similar to many sugars with
one important exception: its glycemic index is significantly lower. This
makes it a healthier alternative to many processed AND natural
sweeteners, including:
white granulated sugar
brown sugar
demerara or turbinado sugar
maple sugar crystals
dehydrated cane juice
date sugar
