Chocolate Dip for Fruit

This post contains collections of products that I personally recommend (it may contain affiliate links).

There are two things I love more than just about anything (ok, maybe not more than cheese): fruit and chocolate. This chocolate hazelnut mascarpone dip is creamy, chocolaty, and nutty without being too sweet and it goes with all my favorite fruits (check out my Fruit Board for ideas!), but especially strawberries. 

Make this dip for any dessert platter! It even goes with some of my favorite breakfast, cheese, and sweet boards, like my Fondue Board, Rainbow Board, Bacon Bouquet Board, Waffle Brunch Board, Proud to Brie an American Board, and Chocolate and Cheese Board to name a few.

How To Make Chocolate Fruit Dip

Ingredients

• ½ cup mascarpone

• ½ cup chocolate hazelnut spread (like Nutella)

• ¼ tsp vanilla extract

• 16 ounces strawberries

Directions

• In a bowl, whisk together mascarpone, chocolate hazelnut spread, and vanilla until fully incorporated. 

• Place the bowl in the center of a serving plate and add strawberries around it. You can even add a strawberry or two to the bowl as garnish.

• Serve or keep refrigerated in an airtight container for up to five days (make sure to set the refrigerated spread out for an hour or two before serving).

Two Other Fruit Dips I Love

I recently partnered with the California Avocado Commission to make a few recipes for avocado season. Check out these two recipes using avocados for extra creaminess: a Chocolate California Avocado Dip and, for those of you that prefer something without chocolate, a Honey Citrus California Avocado Dip.
