This is a lovely vanilla-scented fondue – it’s perfect with mint or raspberry flavours, but is just as delicious on its own.

Ingredients List:
250g white chocolate
50g butter
150ml double cream
1 tsp. vanilla extract

Directions:
1) Finely chop the chocolate.

2) Heat the double cream and butter in the fondue pot until just bubbling at the edges.

3) Remove from the heat and add in the chocolate, whisking all the time until smooth.

4) Add the vanilla extract and mix well.

5) To serve, turn the fondue pot down to the lowest setting so that the chocolate doesn’t burn.

6) Serve with the crudités of your choice.

Here is an interesting alternative fondue made from cranberries:

Ingredients:

1/2 cup of chopped shallot.
1 teaspoon of olive oil.
3 cups of cranberries.
1/2 cup of dry red wine.
1/4 cup of balsamic vinegar.
1/2 cup of dark brown sugar.
1 tablespoon of freshly grated ginger.
1 tablespoon of lemon zest.
1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
About 1 cup of cranberry, cocktail.

Directions:

In a saucepan, saute the chopped shallot in the olive oil until they become translucent.

Add the cranberries, dry red wine, balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, ginger, lemon zest and cinnamon.

Bring to a boil and simmer on medium-low heat until the cranberries break down, stirring frequently for about 20 minutes.

Remove from heat, then allow to cool slightly and pour the mixture into a food processor.

Puree, then pour into a ceramic fondue pot and place under a low alcohol flame.

To prevent it from drying out, stir in the cranberry cocktail to an appropriate dipping consistency. You may need less or more than the 1 cup of cranberry cocktail.
