Mini Fruit Fondue Recipes

Steps:

• Puree the berries in a blender or food processor. In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in the liqueur or water. Place the pureed berries and the cornstarch mixture in a small saucepan and heat over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens slightly and the milky color has disappeared. Pour into a serving bowl or fondue pot. Serve with fondue forks or metal or wooden skewers so that diners can dip their choice of fruit or cake into the sauce.

Steps:

• In a saucepan, stir caramel sauce until heated. In a large glass measuring cup, microwave chocolate chunks until almost completely melted, then stir. Using skewers, dip fruit into sauces.

Steps:

• Thread the fruits onto wooden skewers. Melt the milk chocolate on a low heat in the microwave and transfer to a small serving bowl. Serve the kebabs on a platter with the yogurt and melted chocolate for dipping and get everyone to dig in.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Roll out bread slices as thinly as possible with a rolling pin. Trim crusts; cut each slice into 4 even squares. Press into bottom and up sides of mini muffin cups. Bake until dry and crisp, 12 to 15 minutes (white bread will take slightly longer than pumpernickel). Let cool completely. Toasted bread cups can be made 1 day ahead and stored in an airtight container at room temperature.
• Stir together mayonnaise, Dijon, and brandy. Add cheeses and gently stir to combine. Season with 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Transfer bread cups to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Divide cheese mixture evenly among bread cups (about 1 rounded teaspoon each).
• Bake until cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden in places, 8 to 10 minutes. Top with cornichons;serve immediately.

Steps:

• Thread 3 pieces of fruit onto each toothpick. Chill for 1 hour. Make sweet dips. Sprinkle with nonpareils and serve with fruit.
