Today we are making a melty, gooey vegan fondue that's going to make you forget about dairy cheese
0:06
Hey, welcome back. So before we get started on the fondue, we are going to need a batch of my homemade vegan gray air
0:18
Start by prepping a mold with some oil. I'm using a bowl, but you could also use a silicone mold
0:23
And then we'll get a blender and add a quarter cup of rice flour, a quarter cup of blanched raw
0:30
hazelnuts, half a cup of water, a quarter cup of melted refined coconut oil, two tablespoons of
0:37
nutritional yeast, four teaspoons of white miso paste, one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar
0:45
two teaspoons of onion powder, one teaspoon of mustard powder, one teaspoon of garlic powder
0:51
and half a teaspoon of salt. And just blend that all up until it's smooth
0:56
and this could take up to five minutes so be patient Make sure you have your prepared mold a whisk a heat rubber spatula and a bowl with the cheese mixture nearby
1:09
Then you're going to add a cup of water and two tablespoons of agar-agar powder to a small pot and mix it up
1:17
You're going to bring that to a slow boil and whisk it, letting it boil slowly for four minutes
1:23
After four minutes, pour the cheese mixture in and whisk until it's smooth and thick
1:29
Now you want to work quickly and scrape it into the mold with your spatula because it will start to set pretty quickly
1:36
Then you're going to let it cool at room temperature for 15 minutes and then chill in the fridge for at least two hours
1:43
And once that's made, you're just going to shred up the whole batch with a box grater
1:47
I'm also going to chop up some dipping items. So I going to chop up some French bread some apple slices and I going to chop some broccoli florets and just blanch those for about a minute
2:10
so once we're ready to go with making the gruyere we're gonna start with our pot and we're just
2:15
gonna take a clove of crushed garlic and rub it around the pot once you've got everything coated
2:22
you can just toss the clove. And we are going to add three quarters of a cup of vegan white wine
2:28
I'm using Chardonnay. Make sure it is vegan because not all wines are vegan. The best place
2:35
to check if a wine is vegan or not is barnabore.com. You can look up almost any brand there
2:40
And we're also going to add one teaspoon of lemon juice and a tablespoon of cornstarch to the pot
2:45
and just whisk that up well. Now we're going to turn the heat to somewhere around medium-low and
2:51
just keep stirring until the wine starts to simmer and thicken up a little bit
2:55
now we're gonna take about a third of our shredded cheese and whisk that in
2:59
keep stirring until it is all melted it will melt I promise and then just repeat with another third again and then finally the rest of the cheese Once you got everything smooth and melty
3:12
you can give it a taste and season how you like. I'm adding an eighth of a teaspoon of nutmeg and
3:18
just a dash of black pepper. And this is ready to serve. You're just going to want to pour it into
3:23
a little fondue pot. Ideally, you will have a little burner going underneath of here
3:27
and dip in whatever you like. Mmm. This is so good. This is one of those vegan cheese recipes
3:36
that you could even serve to your Omni friends and they will love it
3:40
If you have any parties coming up, this is perfect. Well, that should do it for this recipe
3:45
but I do have a lot more vegan cheese recipes if you're interested
3:49
I will link one of them at the end of this video. Thank you so much for watching
3:54
and I'll see you next time
