3. Sugar-Free Chocolate Fondue

We must be approaching Date's Day since all I can think of right now is a strawberries with melted chocolate dripping down its side. Of course, the best part about this fondue is that it still allows you to dip your favourite fondue foods into it. Apart from strawberries, there are a variety of items that can be dipped in chocolate fondue. I chose strawberries because they are a favourite dipping fruit while thinking about what to eat on date night.

Ingredients

Sugar-Free Chocolate Chips- A range of sugar-free and/or low-carb chocolate chips - 1 bag (eight to ten ounces)

2/3 cup heavy cream (half-and-half can be substituted)

1 tablespoon extract, such as vanilla.

Of course, check the label to be sure it's sugar-free or low-sugar. Whatever it is that you're dipping.

Instructions

• If making this on the stove, use the double boiler method, which involves boiling water at the bottom of the pan. Warm the heavy cream in the top (pot or bowl), then remove from heat and toss in the other ingredients (whisk works great here).
• Warm the heavy cream (or alternative) and chocolate in a single sauce pan over medium heat, stirring constantly.
• Remove from the heat and mix in the remaining ingredients. Before putting the items in the pan to melt, normally coat it with non-stick spray.
• Finally, there's the fondue pot technique. Follow the instructions included with the pot. (Be careful, as this will be very hot.)
• Keep these sugar-free treats in mind whether you're cooking for yourself or a loved one. So, prepare one of these goodies to delight everyone!
