Chocolate Cheesecake Fondue with Frugal Foodie Mama

I am excited to have one of my sponsors, Carrie from Frugal Foodie Mama on the blog today. She's sharing one of her awesome recipes!  I am salivating just thinking about it. 

Enjoy!

So, I recently (finally!) closed out a storage unit I had in another state for over two years.  Just about my entire life was packed into that storage unit, including some of my most prized culinary treasures.  I knew opening each box would be like a little Christmas morning for me...  "Oh, I forgot I had this!" and... "Awesome!  I was hoping that I would find this!"  But I don't think I was more excited than when I opened one box in particular and there was my electric fondue pot.  Finally!  I could make fondue again!  So, how did I christen my newly rediscovered fondue pot??  With a Chocolate Cheesecake Fondue, of course! ;)

What you will need:

16 oz (2 packages) of cream cheese

2.5 oz of unsweetened baking chocolate, finely chopped

1/2 cup of sugar

2 tbsp of Kahlua (or another dessert liqueur)- optional

Put both the bricks of cream cheese in the fondue pot and turn the heating setting to medium heat.  When the cream cheese is partially melted, add the Kahlua (you can add a smidge more, I won't tell) and stir.  Continue to heat and stir the cream cheese mixture until all the cheese is smooth and melted.  

Add in the chopped baking chocolate and the sugar.  Continue stirring until the chocolate is completed melted and your fondue looks very much like what you see above. :)

Serve your fondue with lots of fun dippers.  We had marshmallows, cherries, strawberries, and chunks of angel food cake.  Graham crackers would be fabulous too!  

If (and that's a big IF) you happen to have any Chocolate Cheesecake Fondue leftover, it makes a fabulous spread for graham crackers the next day.  Just take out your refrigerated leftovers about 20 minutes before you are ready to serve to let it soften a bit.

Doesn't this look super yummy.  I am very tempted to run out and buy a fondue pot!
