Chocolate Peanut Butter Fondue: Ingredients & Substitutions
- Coconut cream. for a non-dairy-free variety, use heavy whipping cream, half and half or whole milk in place of coconut cream. Full-fat coconut milk also works well.
- Chocolate chips. Any chocolate bar or chip will work well in this recipe! I recommend a variety that’s between 60-72% dark for the ultimate chocolate flavor. However, feel free to choose your favorite variety! Both Enjoy Life Foods and Sunspire Chocolate make chips that are certified dairy-free!
- Granulated sugar. I recommend organic cane sugar here, but any granulated variety should work well. Use coconut sugar for a refined sugar free option! I do not recommend using calorie-free sweeteners, as I do not use them and cannot guarantee results!

Notes
- Coconut cream. I really do not recommend any dairy-free substitutions for coconut cream because it is critical to the irresistibly creamy texture of this fondue! You could use full-fat coconut milk, but it will be a little less creamy so beware. If you don’t mind the dairy, heavy whipping cream and whole milk also work well in this recipe!
- Chocolate chips. Any chocolate bar or chip will work well in this recipe! I recommend a variety that’s between 60-72% dark for the ultimate chocolate flavor. However, feel free to choose your favorite variety! Both Enjoy Life Foods and Sunspire Chocolate make chips that are certified dairy-free!
- Granulated sugar. I recommend organic cane sugar here, but any granulated variety should work well. Use coconut sugar for a refined sugar free option! I do not recommend using calorie-free sweeteners, as I do not use them and cannot guarantee results!
