CHOCOLATE RASPBERRY FONDUE
1 12-ounce package frozen
raspberries, thawed
1-1/2 cups heavy cream
1-1/2 pounds bittersweet chocolate, chopped
2-3 tablespoons Chambord or Kirschwasser
Place the thawed raspberries in the work bowl of
the Cuisinart
®
Food Processor fitted with the metal
blade. Process until puréed and smooth, about
30 seconds. Place the purée in a fine mesh sieve
(also called a Chinois) and press the liquid
through into a bowl. Discard the seeds.
Place the cream in the Cuisinart
Fondue Pot.
Heat using setting 4-1/2, until the cream is
bubbling. Gradually stir in the chopped chocolate,
1/2 cup at a time, whisking with a plastic or
nonstick whisk, until completely smooth after
each addition.
Measure out 1/3 cup of the raspberry purée and
stir into the chocolate. Reserve the remaining
purée for another use (or freeze to make
Chocolate Raspberry Fondue at a later date).
Stir in the liqueur. For serving, keep the fondue
warm using Setting 3.
This versatile fondue is good with all fruits that are
suitable for dipping. The tartness of the raspberry
purée also makes it good for cubes of pound or
angel food cake, cookies, brownies, or biscotti.
