menu chocolate fondue set by jacob wagner

Chocolate Fondue is one of my all time favorite desserts. It is great for mingling and it tastes so delicious. Better yet, you feel good afterwards since you ate lots of fresh fruits dipped with chocolate.

While I was exploring Design & Inredningsbloggen, the Swedish retailer danskdesign.nu caught my eyes with its modern housewares and furniture. The design of chocolate fondue sets is not the most innovative typically.

But that was before Jacob Wagner designed in 2007 its Menu Chocolate Fondue Set. The sleek white porcelain set unites wit and style. With its elongated tray / plate, it is designed to be your own Fondue Set or to share on a romantic dinner. Quite elegant for entertaining!

From their Copenhagen, Denmark office, Jakob Wagner Design creates award winning products and furniture for international clients like Moroso, Magis, Bang & Olufsen, Iittala and Georg Jensen. They designed the Potholder last year.

Kim’s Delightful Chocolate Fondue Recipe

My secret is that I used Toblerone chocolate, the mix of chocolate and almond nougat makes a difference.

Ingredients for 4 persons:

  • 8 or 9 peeks of Toblerone (I buy the large bar widely available at the grocery aisle and I am left with 3 peeks)
  • About 1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon of 15% cream – adjust to taste
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons of Grand Marnier
  • Full strawberries, sliced bananas, pears cut in thin quarter- like shapes, pineapple pieces, melon scoops

Add 3/4 of the cream and all the chocolate in a double boiler to melt the chocolate. Stir regularly while its melting; the goal is that the chocolate does not burned. Check the consistency while the chocolate is melting, you may add some cream but do not forget that the Grand Marnier is more liquid. When the chocolate is almost melted, add the Grand Marnier. When the chocolate is fully melted, adjust the cream if necessary to get the right smoothness.

Transfer in the Chocolate Fondue Pot. Light the candle, stir a little, dip the fruit and savor with friends. You can serve tea, coffee or a glass of Port wine.
