Instructions
Prepare the Base:
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt.
Mix with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy.
Adjust Consistency:
If the mixture is too thick, add more heavy cream, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches a smooth, dippable consistency.
Heat the Fondue:
Transfer the mixture to a fondue pot or double boiler.
Heat over low heat, stirring frequently, until warm and creamy.
Keep the temperature between 120°F to 140°F to avoid separation.
Serve and Enjoy:
Arrange dipping options on a platter.
Provide fondue forks or skewers for easy dipping.
Keep the fondue warm during serving.
Notes
For a chocolate twist, stir in melted white or dark chocolate.
To prevent lumps, sift powdered sugar before mixing.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave, stirring every 15 seconds.
For a boozy version, add a splash of liqueur like Grand Marnier or Baileys.
