A triple dose of ginger—candied, ground and fresh—lends extra sophistication to this snowy white fondue. Serve with bite-size squares of angel food cake, pineapple chunks, dried apricots, Chinese fortune cookies and—of course—gingersnaps. When buying white chocolate, be sure the label lists cocoa butter as a major ingredient; confectionery coating, also called summer coating, will not work for fondue.

Ingredients

2 cups heavy cream
3 tablespoons finely chopped crystallized ginger
1 1/2 tablespoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon finely grated fresh ginger
1 pound white chocolate, chopped

Instructions

1. In a medium saucepan, combine cream, 2 tablespoons crystallized ginger, ground ginger and fresh ginger. Cook over medium heat, watching to make sure it doesn’t bubble up, until heated through.
2. Put white chocolate in a ceramic fondue pot. Pour in hot cream and whisk until chocolate melts. Sprinkle remaining 1 tablespoon crystallized ginger over top. Keep warm over a low flame for dipping. If it begins to boil, turn off heat. Makes about 3 cups; 8 to 10 servings.
