Amaretto-Mascarpone Fondue
Prep: 5 min | Cook: 5 min | Yield: 6 servings
Ingredients
Fondue
- 1 1/2 cups (about 12 ounces) mascarpone cheese
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons amaretto flavored liqueur or espresso coffee
- 1/2 teaspoon orange extract (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
Dipping
- Grilled or broiled peaches, nectarines and pears
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, heat mascarpone cheese over low heat, stirring constantly, until melted. Stir in sugar, amaretto and orange extract and heat 1 to 2 minutes.
- Transfer to a ceramic fondue pot and keep warm over a fondue burner. Sprinkle with cinnamon and nutmeg. The fondue may be served in the pot or individual warmed ramekins.
- Serve with grilled or broiled fruit.
- For grilled fruit: Heat grill or broiler. Cut fruit in halves and remove pits. Brush lightly with a little melted butter.
- Grill fruit over medium-hot coals just until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Don't allow fruit to get too soft. The fruit may also be broiled 3 to 4 minutes, turning once.
