Vegan Fondue
When it comes to gathering friends and family around the table, there's nothing more fun and interactive than a pot of my creamy, cheesy Vegan Fondue. Perfect for cozy winter nights but equally delightful year-round. The best part? My healthy fondue recipe only takes 30 minutes of active time to make and is a total crowd pleaser.

Notes
- To make the best vegan fondue is to soak the cashews overnight. Trust me, it makes all the difference! I’ve tried rushing it with a quick soak, but nothing beats the silky, creamy texture you get from giving them plenty of time to soften. Plus, it cuts down on active prep time, so when it’s time to make the fondue, you can have it ready in no time. It’s a little extra planning, but totally worth it for that rich, indulgent result!
- I like to keep the fondue warm in a fondue pot or serve it immediately. This keeps it creamy and perfect for dipping.
- I always stir the fondue constantly while heating to avoid burning or sticking. It’s the key to a smooth, silky texture.
- I go for unsweetened soy or almond milk with a creamy texture and mild flavor. Sweetened or flavored milk can overpower the fondue’s cheesy taste.
- I prepare all my dippers before making the fondue. It saves time and means we can enjoy the fondue fresh and hot.
