Top 5 Healthy Chocolate Desserts

1. First up, chocolate fondue:

First up, chocolate fondue

Nothing beats a warm pot of bitter-sweet chocolate served with a serving of fruits, cakes, marshmallows, cookies and what not! Kids love it and adults love it even more!

Here’s what you will need:

    • -12oz of bittersweet chocolate
    • -2 ½ cups whipping cream
    • -1/4th cup orange juice

– In a slow cooker, mix all the ingredients and put it o cook on the lowest heat setting, for at least 2 to 3 hours.

– If you don’t have a slow cooker, you could keep the mixture on low heat over a double boiler as well. But for best results, slow-cooker it is!

– While the chocolate cooks, slice up some fruits. My personal favorite, which go well with this recipe are:

—Strawberries, Peaches, Bananas, Oranges

Other assortments include:

—Nuts, Plain tea cake, diced in large, fork-able cubes, Marshmallows, Cookies and Crackers

PS. If the fondue goes thick, add some cream and mix until you get the right consistency.

This recipe makes around four cups of fondue. Serve in a large bowl or do individual servings along with assortments and fondue forks!
