The vegan, paleo, gluten-free and non-GMO kit is perfect for plant-based entertaining and the product offers much more freedom than the average fondue. With this dairy-free take on [classic fondue](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/exceptional-sirloin-steak-fondue), people are able to choose their own base—like nuts, seeds, cauliflower or white beans—and enhance it with garlic, dry white wine, or even a simple combination of oil and water. As well as being free from dairy, the kit is made without other top allergens like gluten, soy and nuts. The dairy-free mixture itself is made from simple ingredients like tapioca flour, nutritional yeast and porcini powder.
