Need a delicious dessert fast? In less than 30 minutes, you can make this dairy-free chocolate fondue. It’s free of the most common allergens, easy and fun to make, and even more fun to eat!
This dairy-free chocolate fondue is a family favorite on special occasions. But it really is simple enough to enjoy on any occasion. It’s as easy as putting the ingredients in your fondue pot, warming and stirring, and getting your “dippers” ready.
Not only is it delicious but gathering around the fondue pot is a fun activity for the whole family. Nothing will draw them to the table like this! 🙂
Ingredients and Equipment
You only need three ingredients to make this:
- Dairy-free chocolate chips - Two of my favorite allergy-friendly chocolate chip options include Enjoy Life Foods and Nestle Allergen Free Baking Chips. I also recently found Great Value top 8 allergen-free chocolate chips at Walmart.
- Dairy free milk - You can use whatever milk substitute you like. I have used oat, rice, and soy milk and all of them work well.
- Cooking oil - Any cooking oil will work here. I usually use canola oil.
A fondue pot is nice to have for this recipe but if you don’t have one, don’t worry! You can cook this on the stovetop and transfer it to a microwaveable dish for serving.
How to make it
Have I mentioned this is easy to make? Well, it is!
First, start by setting your fondue pot to warm or low. You don’t want to have the heat too high or the chocolate will burn.
If you don’t have a fondue pot, you can cook this on the stovetop in a small saucepan over medium-low heat.
Second, add the chocolate chips and oil. Next, add the milk substitute. Stir the mixture frequently until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.
Finally, it's ready to serve with your favorite dippers!
