Easy Vegan Cheese Fondue recipe by Joyful Balance.

Easy Vegan Cheese Fondue

Delaney Marie
This Easy Vegan Cheese Fondue recipe is for anyone who loves cheese but also loves to keep things dairy-free. The cashews and white beans make it creamy but with a more wholesome twist. It is easy to make, and perfect for entertaining guests or for a fun date night. Great for any goodies you want to dip!
*Note that From Start to Finish is an estimate that assumes 25 minutes to soak your cashews (and prep other ingredients as they soak), and 15 minutes to complete the recipe directions. This time estimate is only for the fondue itself and does not include time to prepare whatever you choose to serve it with!

Ingredients

  • 1 can white cannellini beans - drained and rinsed
  • ½ cup raw cashews - soaked in very hot water for 20-30 minutes (OR in room temperature water overnight)
  • 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 cup beer* (OR veggie broth)
  • 1 cup nondairy milk - (I like cashew best for this)
  • ⅓ cup nutritional yeast
  • 2 tablespoon tapioca starch
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon white miso paste
  • 1.5 teaspoon dijon mustard

Optional, for dipping:

  • Joyful Balance Crispy Baked Tofu
  • Bagels - (I like to chop them into bite-sized pieces and then bake at 350 for 5-8 minutes to toast them)
  • Steamed or raw broccoli & carrots - (I like to steam mine about 10 minutes)

Instructions

  • Add all fondue ingredients to a high powered blender. Blend until very smooth.
  • Pour your blended mixture into a pot at medium-low heat on the stovetop. Whisk frequently and slowly increase to medium heat as you bring it to a simmer.
  • As the mixture starts to simmer, it will also begin to thicken. Keep whisking. Once the fondue has thickened enough that it coats the back of a spoon (without running off), it's ready.
  • Add more salt to taste if desired. Transfer to a fondue pot at low heat to maintain the warmth while serving.
  • Serve with whatever you'd like - such as steamed veggies, crispy tofu, or toasted bagels. Enjoy!

Notes

*Beer: blonde ale or lager is best
