Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Gruyere cheese, shredded
- 8 oz Emmental cheese, shredded
- 2 oz Cream cheese
- 1 large Garlic clove, halved
- 1 cup Dry white wine
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 1 tbsp Cognac or brandy
- 1 pinch Nutmeg, freshly grated
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 tbsp Almond flour
Instructions
Rub the interior of a fondue pot or a medium saucepan with the cut sides of the garlic halves. Discard the garlic.
In a small bowl, toss the shredded Gruyere and Emmental cheeses with almond flour. Set aside.
Place the fondue pot or saucepan over medium-low heat. Pour in the dry white wine and lemon juice. Heat until just simmering, but not boiling.
Gradually add the cheese mixture, one handful at a time, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon in a zigzag pattern (not circular) to prevent the cheese from balling up.
Once all the cheese is added and melted smoothly, stir in the cream cheese until well blended and smooth.
Add the cognac or brandy and a pinch of nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Keep the fondue warm over low heat, stirring occasionally. Serve immediately with keto-friendly dippers like broccoli, cauliflower, grilled chicken strips, or zucchini slices.
