In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium-low heat until warm (not boiling). Add the chopped chocolate and whisk until smooth and fully melted. Stir in vanilla and a pinch of salt.
Alternatively, melt the chocolate and cream together in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each.
Pour the warm chocolate into a heat-safe bowl or mini fondue pot to keep it warm while serving.
Wash, dry, and slice fruit. Cut cakes and brownies into bite-sized pieces. Arrange everything in small bowls or directly on your board.
Place the chocolate in the center of your board. Arrange the dippers around it, grouping similar items together for a clean, inviting look.
Serve immediately while the chocolate is warm. Provide skewers or forks for easy dipping and enjoy!
