Vegans who might miss out on enjoying traditional fondue dips that are made with milk chocolate or cheese can opt to purchase the No Cheese Fondue, which is prepared with a plant-based cheese alternative. The product combines vegan cheese, coarse mustard and white wine in a recipe that's free from artificial additives. This combination of ingredients yields a slightly spicy flavor and lends itself well to being melted in a pan just until it begins to boil.
The organic and protein-rich fondue is ideal for enjoying with everything from vegetables to pieces of bread. Although one small jar may not provide enough of the cheese-free fondue dip to serve a large group, it is ideal as a ready-to-use and easily made fondue for two.
