Description

Celebrate Valentine’s Day with this luscious Valentine’s Hot Chocolate Dip, a smooth and creamy chocolate blend perfect for dipping fresh strawberries, marshmallows, cookies, or pretzels. Ready in just 10 minutes, this indulgent treat combines semi-sweet and milk chocolate chips melted into warm cream, flavored with vanilla and a hint of sweetness, making it a perfect festive dessert dip.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar (optional, for added sweetness)
  • Pinch of salt

Toppings (optional)

  • Whipped cream
  • Chocolate shavings
  • Heart-shaped sprinkles

Dippers

  • Fresh strawberries
  • Marshmallows
  • Cookies
  • Pretzels

Instructions

  1. Heat the cream: In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it starts to steam, being careful not to let it boil. This gentle warming prepares the cream for melting the chocolate smoothly.
  2. Melt the chocolate: Add both the semi-sweet and milk chocolate chips to the hot cream. Stir continuously until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy.
  3. Add flavorings: Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the vanilla extract, powdered sugar if using, and a pinch of salt to enhance and balance the flavors of the dip.
  4. Prepare for serving: Transfer the warm chocolate dip into a serving bowl. For a festive look, top with optional whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or heart-shaped sprinkles.
  5. Serve with dippers: Present the dip alongside an assortment of dippers such as fresh strawberries, marshmallows, cookies, or pretzels for a fun and interactive dessert experience.

Notes

  • Do not let the cream boil to prevent curdling or scorching the chocolate.
  • The powdered sugar is optional and can be adjusted based on desired sweetness.
  • Use high-quality chocolate chips for a richer taste.
  • Warm the dip slightly before serving if it cools and thickens too much.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat gently before serving.
