This deceptively simple dip fits into the grooviest ’70s fondue party and works just as well as a weeknight meal. Another great way to dress it up is to mix in some green or puréed veggies, which you can vary each time you make it.
What Do You Mean by White Beans?
I find that so many white beans have the same cooked consistency and lovely neutral flavor.
Cannelini, navy, Great Northern, etc., can all be used in this recipe.
Can I Leave Out the Almonds?
You can try using oats in place of the almonds, but you may need to add more water. Check out my oat queso to see how it’s made.
In fact, I would suggest adding the flavors of this recipe to the oat queso recipe, and leaving out the chilies to DIY your own oat fondue!
What Should I Serve with Vegan Fondue?
You can serve it with steamed veggies, toasted bread cubes, or tempeh. It’s a great way to clean out the fridge or to use up bits of bread, veggies, or things you have lying around.
If your eating plan allows it, crusty bread is my absolute favorite, followed by chewy air-fried tofu cubes.

Actually sounds delish. I’ve never had a fondue party, but it sounds so fun. I’d be hooked if all they served is hot, warm pretzel bites with a spicy fondue cheese or spicy mustard. 😉 Thank you for the recipe. One, I definitely be willing to try.
Kathy Hester says
I love the idea of warm pretzel bites! You have to have a fondue party at least once. Plus you can make a healthy dessert fondue with fruit for dessert!

Fondue parties are soooo fun, we love having them in the fall. New Year’s Eve last year we had hosted one also, great way to go back old school. LOVE IT 🙂
This is a new recipe that we WILL be making in our house for sure

Kasse says
iwondeeing if you could sub cashews for the almonds. Has anyone ever tried this?
Kathy Hester says
I haven’t tried it before, but I think it would work just fine!
Julie says
Do you think it would be okay to blend this in the slow cooker using an immersion blender?
Kathy Hester says
That would work fine!
Iris Koller says
Kathy, can you do this with the slow-cooker setting on the Instant Pot Duo?
TIA.
