• 2 - 4 tbs of coconut cream, optional

Method

First cut & arrange your fruit on a beautiful platter, leaving room for your cacao in the middle. If you’re not ready to eat it immediately, rub any fruit that brown quickly (eg banana or apple) lightly with half a lemon. Pour a healthy serving of Chocolate dipping sauce and viola, your very own festive season chocolate fondue!

Chocolate Dipping Sauce

1. Melt your cacao butter & coconut oil gently in a double boiler on low (I use a small pyrex jug in a small pot).
2. Add all other ingredients, apart from cacao & stir in.
3. Take off heat, add the cacao, stir any lumps, then whisk til smooth.
4. This can be served warm or cold. It will thicken more, as it cools, but remain dippable! We like to serve it warm in winter & cool in summer.
5. Lush out & enjoy!
