Making a Sugar Free Chocolate Fondue

What could be more of a treat than a sugar free chocolate fondue? For this you may wish to use a chocolate fountain or a fondue set. If you have neither then it will work just as well in a saucepan.
Remember to keep the heat low though while you are preparing the dish and if you have a food warmer you can place the pan on this in the centre of your table, it will keep the fondue going for longer.When using cocoa powder in a fondue, try to find a nice brand. Look for organic or high quality varieties. It is worth splashing out a little on this dish.
Before making your fondue, think about what you will serve up with it. Pieces of fresh fruit such as strawberries, raspberries, slices of banana and squares of mango work well. You can also dip in pieces of sugar free chocolate brownie - but make sure the cake is nice and firm.
Remember you will need fondu forks or skewers as well.
If you are having a large dinner party you may wish to serve two fondues to prevent people having to lean right across the table.Also think about serving another dessert alongside the sugar free chocolate fondue. Sugar free vanilla ice-cream presents a nice contrast to the hot liquid.Sugar Free Chocolate Orange Fondue
