Preparation
- Start by making the Gorgonzola bonbons. Mash the Gorgonzola with the butter into a smooth cream and roll it into around 12 balls with slightly moist hands. Roll the balls through the sliced almonds and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Cut the Brie de Meaux into slices (not too thick). Peel and slice the banana. Peel and cut the pear into bite-sized pieces. Wash the strawberries and remove the tops. Attractively arrange all ingredients on a serving board and cover with plastic wrap. Place in the freezer.
- Break the dark and milk chocolate into pieces (or use chips) and place them in a bowl or pan on top of gently boiling water. Make sure that the bowl with the chocolate is not immersed in the water. Use a wooden spoon or scraper to stir the chocolate until it is melted completely.
- Gradually add the whipping cream until the fondue is nice and thick. Taste the chocolate. Is it too bitter? Stir in a little sugar. Pour the chocolate fondue into the chocolate fondue set. Remove the Gorgonzola bonbons from the freezer and add them to the serving board. Dig in!
