Servings: persons

1/2 angel food cake
1 banana
1 pears or 1 apple
1 (16 ounce) container strawberries, hulled
1 teaspoon orange juice (1 wedge for squeezing)
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, natural (for baking)
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup fat-free evaporated milk (or low fat)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 ounces dark chocolate, 60 to 70 percent cocoa solids, chips or finely chopped

1
Cut angel food cake into bite size wedges.
2
Peel and cut banana into one inch chunks. Core and slice the pear or apple.
3
Place the bananas, pears and strawberries on a serving platter. Squeeze orange wedge over banana and pear (or apple) and mix gently.
4
In a medium saucepan, whisk together cocoa powder and sugar. Slowly pour in evaporated milk, all the while whisking, to make a paste.
5
Place the saucepan over low to medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until chocolate base is simmering.
6
Remove pot from heat and whisk in vanilla and chocolate. Keep stirring until chocolate is completely melted. The mixture will be quite thick.
7
Transfer chocolate to a fondue pot to keep warm. If you do not have a fondue pot, try serving the fondue in a warmed ceramic bowl.
8
Dip fruit in chocolate. Spoon chocolate over angel food cake (it is too delicate for dipping) and enjoy!
9
Store leftovers in the refrigerator. Rewarm by microwaving 35-45 seconds, stirring every 10 seconds.
