1Chop the milk chocolate into small, evenly sized pieces.
2This will help it melt evenly.
3Set the chocolate aside until needed.

7Remove the cream from the heat.
8Place the chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl or the top of a double boiler.
9Pour the hot cream over the chocolate.

12Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
13Mix well to combine.
14The fondue should be smooth and creamy.

17If using a fondue pot, keep the fondue warm over a low flame or candle.
