A delightful Japanese-inspired dessert featuring a creamy matcha and white chocolate fondue served in a nabe pot, perfect for dipping fresh seasonal fruit.
Prepare the Fruit: Wash and prepare all the fruit by cutting into bite-sized pieces. Arrange the fruit attractively around the nabe pot.
Melt the Chocolate: In a saucepan over low heat, combine the white chocolate chips and heavy cream.
Stir Constantly: Stir constantly until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Be careful not to burn the chocolate.
Add Matcha and Vanilla: Remove the saucepan from the heat. Sift in the matcha powder and stir until well combined and the mixture is a uniform green color. Stir in the vanilla extract (if using).
Pour into Nabe Pot: Pour the melted matcha and white chocolate fondue into the nabe pot or fondue pot.
Keep Warm: If using a traditional nabe pot with a heat source, keep the fondue warm over a very low flame or with a candle. If using a fondue pot, follow the manufacturer's instructions for maintaining the temperature.
Serve and Dip: Serve immediately with the prepared fruit, marshmallows, and pound cake for dipping. Encourage everyone to dip and enjoy!
Stir Occasionally: Occasionally stir the fondue to prevent it from settling or forming a skin on top.

Adjust Matcha to Taste: Adjust the amount of matcha powder to your personal preference. More matcha will result in a stronger flavor and a deeper green color.
Prevent Chocolate from Burning: Use a double boiler or a bowl set over simmering water to melt the chocolate more gently if you are concerned about burning it.
Add a Pinch of Salt: A tiny pinch of salt can enhance the sweetness of the white chocolate.
Garnish with Matcha: Before serving, lightly dust the top of the fondue with a small amount of matcha powder for an elegant presentation.
Lemon Juice: Squeezing some lemon juice into the fruits can prevent them from browning.
