Dark chocolate fondue has a rich history dating back to the 1960s when it gained popularity as a luxurious dessert. Originating in Switzerland, it was traditionally made with high-quality dark chocolate, cream, and a splash of liqueur for added depth. Renowned chefs like Jean-Georges Vongerichten have elevated this classic dish by infusing it with unique flavors such as orange zest or espresso. Today, the best versions of this indulgent treat can be found in upscale restaurants in Switzerland, Belgium, and France. The key to a perfect dark chocolate fondue lies in using premium dark chocolate and pairing it with an array of dippable treats like strawberries, marshmallows, and pretzels. For a twist, consider adding a hint of sea salt or chili for a tantalizing flavor profile.
