Indulge your guests with this heady, chocolaty treat from Suzanne O'Connor at Tigerlily for Taste of Edinburgh

Serves 4

Ingredients

  • 300g high-quality dark chocolate, at least 70% cocoa solids
  • 200ml single cream
  • 50ml maple syrup
  • 75ml Grand Marnier

For the white curaçao dip

  • 300g white chocolate
  • 75ml white curaçao
  • 200ml single cream
  • 50ml maple syrup

Fruit and cookies for dipping

  • 2 bananas, chopped
  • 12 strawberries, sliced
  • 1 pineapple, peeled, cored and cut into chunks
  • 125g blueberries
  • 8 small profiteroles
  • 3 miniature macaroons
  • 4 biscotti or similar dry biscuits

Method: How to make chocolate fondue

1. Place two pots of water on the hob and place ceramic bowls over them, making sure they fit snugly, as you do not want unnecessary moisture getting into your chocolate sauces.

2. For the Grand Marnier dip, place the dark chocolate, cream, maple syrup and Grand Marnier in a bowl. Place the white chocolate, white curaçao, cream and maple syrup in the second bowl. Bring the water under the bowls to a gentle simmer, stirring the mixture in each bowl continuously.

3. Now for the tricky part. Pour the two sauces, while warm, together into a large glass bowl and swirl. Place the bowl on a plate and arrange the fruit, profiteroles and biscuits around the base.

4. You can vary the choice of fruits depending on the season. This is a great treat for children, in which case omit the Grand Marnier and white curaçao and replace the dry biscuits with 250g miniature marshmallows.
