Ingredients
- 2 pounds dark chocolate
- ¾ cup coconut oil
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups marshmallows
Instructions
- 1
Chop the 2 pounds dark chocolate into small, uniform pieces and place them in a large heatproof bowl.
- 2
Add the 1 cup heavy cream and 0.75 cup coconut oil to the chocolate. Set the bowl over a pot of simmering water, making sure the bottom doesn't touch the water.
- 3
Stir gently with a spatula until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy, about 10 minutes. Do not let any water get into the chocolate.
- 4
Remove the bowl from the heat and stir in the 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- 5
Pour the melted chocolate into the fountain's basin. Turn on the fountain and let it run for 5 minutes, allowing the chocolate to flow and warm up.
- 6
If the chocolate is too thick to flow properly, add warm cream or coconut oil, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it flows smoothly.
- 7
Serve with the 2 cups marshmallows and other dippers like fruit or cake. Keep the fountain running to maintain the chocolate's consistency.
- 8
When finished, turn off the fountain and allow the chocolate to cool slightly before cleaning according to the manufacturer's instructions.
