Vegan Fondue for the Game or a Nice Dinner

I am excited to announce my 2016 partnership with Sabra. This is my  first sponsored post and recipe as an official Sabra Tastemaker. As always, the opinions below and the recipes are always my own.

For those of you that are big sports fans or just love to watch the new crazy commercials, the big day is just around the corner. I like to make fun food and feed people, so I’m up for a party anytime. Honestly, I won’t be in front of the TV, but I’ll pass by occasionally to make sure you have some snacks.

Vegan Fondue for the Game or a Nice Dinner

When you’re a vegan you know that there’ll always be some hummus at any party you go to. I’m always grateful because sometimes it’s the only thing for me to eat. I love plain hummus and a rainbow of flavored hummus. But I don’t see the need to stop there.

I’ve turned a delicious tub of Sabra hummus into a creamy, dreamy fondue that you’d be happy to get out at a fancy restaurant. And it’s completely dairy-free!

It’s just as good as an appetizer. Either way, I like to serve it with lightly steamed veggies and toasted cubes of bread.

The nutritional yeast adds a little bit of cheezy umami and the dry mustard and apple cider vinegar gives it a bite that you expect from a nice cheese. You can substitute a dry white wine in place of the apple cider vinegar to make a more mellow fondue.

Vegan Fondue for the Game or a Nice Dinner

Fondue crosses the divide between appetizer and a main course for me. It's great as a starter, but you haven't lived until you've thrown a fondue party. Break out the Tom Jones, turn on the fireplace and break out the chablis!
Servings: 10 servings
Author: Kathy Hester

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup cashew
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 10 ounce container Sabra Original Hummus
  • 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
  • 1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon mustard powder
  • 1/2 to 1 teaspoon salt to taste
  • 1/2 to 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar to taste

Instructions

  • Soak the cashews in the water for at least 3 hours to overnight.
  • Add the soaked cashews, the soaking water, hummus, nutritional yeast, garlic and onion powder, and mustard powder to your blender and blend until smooth. You may need to stop and scrape down the blender a few times in between blending to get it extra smooth.
  • Then add salt and apple cider vinegar to taste. Serve with toasted bread cubes, lightly steamed veggies and even some seared tofu or tempeh!

    What a terrific vegan option! I still have yet to experiment with nutritional yeast (I just bought some a week ago) but I’ve heard it adds a really phenomenal flavor – this fondue sounds delish!

    I was excited when I read in your narrative that you were adding dry mustard, because my husband lives mustard, but I don’t see that in the recipe’s ingredients list. Did you decide it didn’t work in this recipe?

    Wow I am in awe with just how creamy this is. It looks fantastic! I am always on the look out for good vegan recipes I can feed one of my best friends! I never want to be the person who has only provided hummus for the vegans at a party!!! Now I have this in my repetoire 😀 thanks!

    I love these vegan cheese recipes. Yours is a little different than most I’ve seen because of the hummus. I think this will be awesome on my Super Bowl party spread.

    Looks good Kathy! My family does a fondue dinner every January for the new year, and this year I brought my cheese sauce fondue I am working on. They went nuts over it and even ate it more than the regular cheese one they had. I love fondue!

    Have you tried serving this hot like a cheese fondue but not? My no dairy daughter-in-law is coming over for a fondue tonight and it would be nice to have something special for her to enjoy.

    It was really bland for me. I’m trying to transition into a plant based diet but I was really craving fondue. I found it extremely bland, so I added a lot of spices. My Ninja blender may not have been strong enough because the texture was a little gritty. Overall didn’t really satisfy my fondue craving 🙁
