Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Raw cashews
- 1.5 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup Nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon White miso paste
- 2 tablespoons Tapioca starch
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup White wine
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh chives
Instructions
Place the raw cashews in a bowl and cover them with hot water. Let them soak for at least 15 minutes to soften.
Drain the cashews and transfer them to a blender.
Add the unsweetened almond milk, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, Dijon mustard, white miso paste, tapioca starch, and salt to the blender with the cashews.
Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. This may take a couple of minutes; make sure there are no lumps.
In a medium-sized saucepan, heat the white wine over medium heat until it begins to simmer, but not boil.
Gradually whisk in the blended cashew mixture into the saucepan with the simmering wine. Continue whisking to combine well.
Cook the mixture over medium heat while stirring constantly until it begins to thicken and become stretchy, about 5-7 minutes.
Once the fondue reaches your desired consistency, remove it from the heat.
Pour the vegan cheese fondue into a fondue pot to keep it warm.
Garnish with fresh chives before serving and set alongside a variety of dippers like cubes of crusty bread, vegetables, or vegan crackers.
