Easy Creamy Vegan Fondue

Easy Creamy Vegan Fondue

Prep time    15 minutes  

Cook time   15-20 minutes    

Yield              4-6 servings

 Ingredients

• 1 yellow or white onion, quartered
• 2 Yukon gold potatoes (about 8-10 ounces), peeled and diced
• ½ cup raw cashews
• 4 garlic cloves
• 1 1/2 cups unsweetened plant-based milk
• 1 cup unsweetened plant-based yogurt (I recommend Kite Hill)
• 2 tablespoons white miso paste
• 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 6 tablespoons nutritional yeast flakes
• 5 tablespoons tapioca starch
• 3/4 teaspoon sea salt (or to taste)
• ½ teaspoon ground mustard 
• ½ cup dry white wine 

‍  Directions

1. Place the onions, diced potato, and cashews into a small pot and cover with water. Bring the water to a boil and reduce heat to a low-medium heat.  Cook  just until the potatoes are tender, about 10-15 minutes.  Drain the water and allow it to cool slightly.
2. Place the potatoes, onion, cashews and remaining ingredients into a high speed blender and blend until smooth and creamy.
3. Place the mixture into a large saucepan over medium-high heat and whisk the cheese mixture until thick and bubbly. It will appear to get lumpy at first, but if you are patient it will become evenly thickened after 4-5 minutes.
4. Place the cheese mixture into a fondue pot or small crockpot and heat on low to keep the sauce warm. Serve with warm chunks of whole grain bread, roasted potatoes, roasted mushrooms, baked French fries, veggies, apples, or anything else you enjoy.  Bon Appetit!

• ¼ teaspoon sea salt

‍  Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F.  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. 
2. Wash potatoes and cut into halves (or quarters if they are larger).

✏️Tips & Hints

• If you have a convection oven, I recommend you use it for roasting potatoes.  Convection ovens circulate constantly throughout which is perfect for crispy golden potatoes.
