🍫 Prep the chocolate:
Chop the dark and milk chocolate finely and place them in a heatproof bowl.

🥛 Heat the cream:
In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm the heavy cream just until it begins to simmer—do not boil.

🫖 Combine and melt:
Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate. Let it sit undisturbed for 1–2 minutes, then gently stir until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.

🥄 Add flavorings:
Stir in the butter, vanilla extract, and liqueur (if using). Mix until glossy and fully incorporated.

🫕 Serve:
Pour the fondue into a fondue pot or a heatproof bowl over a tea light or warming tray to keep it smooth and warm.

🎀 Tips for Elegance:
Serve in a ceramic fondue pot or a stylish dish with a warming candle.
Arrange dippers artfully on a platter—consider color, shape, and texture balance.
Garnish with edible flowers, gold leaf, or a light dusting of cocoa powder around the serving tray.

🍷 Pair with: Port wine, Champagne, or a rich red like Merlot 🍾🍷
