Cooley High




Fondue set by Rachael Ray US$59.95

• 1/3 cup sugar


• 1 tablespoon cornstarch


• 1 1/4 cups heavy cream


• 1 1/4 cups milk


• 2 tablespoons fresh-ground coffee


• 1/2 teaspoon ground Ceylon cinnamon or canela


• 1 vanilla bean, split


• 7 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped


• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter

In a bowl, whisk together the sugar and cornstarch to blend. Slowly whisk in the cream; then the milk, coffee, cinnamon, and vanilla. Pour the mixture into a stainless steel saucepan and gently bring it to a boil. Cook, whisking, until thickened, about 4 minutes.

Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the chocolate and butter until melted. Using a fine-meshed sieve over a large bowl, strain the chocolate mixture and discard the solids. Pour into a warmed fondue pot and serve with assorted dippers and fondue forks.

Ayentiac Cabernet Sauvignon Organic

Cabernets are the perfect alternative to dessert wines and ports. Cabernets pair well with chocolate because they already have a hint of cocoa in them including blackberries and spice.
