I almost never have problems with NYT recipes, but like other commenters my mixture did not emulsify and was grainy. I ended up draining the oil layer from the mixture and then whisking in several tablespoons of heavy cream, which fixed things. But I would not recommend this recipe.

This is the only recipe for chocolate fondue I have ever seen that does not call for cream or milk. No wonder the other readers had clumping problems.
The mixture was not at all emulsified. I don't ever have to read the reviews on NYT recipes, but I wish I had on this one. I wasted a complete batch of chocolate.
