What to Serve with a Chocolate Fountain
Bring up desserts with clients and the chocolate fountain is bound to come in conversation.
Catering Equipment- What's interesting is that many catering clients think their options for chocolate fountains are limited to simple fruits like a strawberry. While that's a fan favorite among dessert lovers (everyone) there are some other great items you can dip into the chocolate to make a great dessert spread. Here are some of our favorites for dessert dipping:
Fresh Fruit - Fresh fruit is a given, because sweet fruit is only made better by adding a layer of sweet chocolate. Strawberries are the big choice but there are plenty others to you including apple slices, cherries, pineapple, grapes, melon slices and more. Beyond the flavor, the colorful selection is sure to make guests feel lively.
Dried Fruits - Dried fruits bring in some additional variety, not only in color and taste but in texture as well. Not only do traditional fruits dry well (banana, apple, etc.) but you can get in some of the more diverse options for dipping singly or in sticky bundles like raisins, apricots, dried mango, kiwi and more.
Cake Pieces - If you can coat a cake in frosting then you can certainly coat it in chocolate.
Coffee Urn- This has become a great item in coffee shops like Starbucks who sell cake balls on a stick. Offer a similar option with variable cake flavors that guests can dip into the chocolate or hold it under the dripping chocolate in the fountain.
Marshmallows - Marshmallows let your guests create the smore experience without the open flame. With marshmallows on a stick you can allow guests to hold them under the chocolate then roll the fluff in graham cracker crumbs and bits for the perfect portable smore.
Pretzels - It doesn't matter what kind of pretzel you have - even soft pretzels - the combination of sweet and salty mix well and are a fan favorite among guests. Chafing Dish Sets-Large hard pretzels make for easy dipping and it's a taste combination that guests will always love.
Cookies and Brownies - A chocolate chip cookie or moist brownie can only be made better when dipped in chocolate. You can set up a variety of cookies and browny variations on your dessert line for guests to dip and drizzle chocolate for the most seductive death by chocolate imaginable.
Breads - Whether you're serving a variety of sweet breads or some of the more traditional breads, chocolate drizzled over the soft dough always helps to draw out the tremendous flavor locked away within the bread. Even French breads can be enhanced with a little chocolate drizzle.
Catering Equipment-Other Uses - You can often run a lot more than chocolate through a fountain depending on the type of fountain you use. If you have more than one you can supplement your dessert and chocolate fountain with a cheese fondu dipping center. This will allow you to put out other items like vegetables for those who don't want the sweet desserts.
If you want some additional variety, considering other toping items like caramel for apple slices. If you can combine caramel and chocolate you can make a desirable dessert spread that few guests will be able to avoid.
These are just a few of the more common uses for fondue dippers.
Coffee Urn- Want to get a little more out of experimentation? Go for caramel in your fountain and serve apple slices and other things that are easily candied. With some creativity, just about anything you like can be made better with chocolate, caramel or cheese.
