1. Bring maple syrup to the boil in a saucepan; boil for 5 minutes.
2. In another saucepan, heat 400ml of the cream over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it reaches boiling point. Once boiling, gradually incorporate the boiling maple syrup.
3. Combine the remaining 60ml cream with the cornflour. Add to the maple mixture along with the butter, then reduce the heat to low and gently simmer for 10 minutes.
4. Transfer to a small fondue pot and place in centre of the table. Serve with fruit and pieces of sponge cake.

Tip

For a slightly lighter version, you could substitute approximately 100ml of the cream with whole milk instead.
