Instructions

1
bater

Soak the cashew nuts beforehand (the recipe author soaked them for 15 minutes in boiling water). Prepare the base by blending the soaked cashews and 1 cup of water in a blender until a smooth cream forms.

3min

Dica: Preferably, blend the nuts with the water until creamy before adding the other ingredients.

2
bater

Add the sweet tapioca starch, green grape juice, a pinch of turmeric, and a small fingertip of garlic to the blender. Blend again to incorporate.

1min 30s

Dica: The green grape juice helps replicate the sweet freshness of cheeses like Swiss.

3
bater

Add the chopped vegan mozzarella and nutritional yeast to the cream in the blender. Adjust salt to taste and blend until all ingredients are well mixed (even if the initial step of blending the cashews wasn't done perfectly).

2min

Dica: Tasting and adjusting the salt is crucial, especially after adding sweet or acidic ingredients.

4
cozinhar

Transfer the mixture to a saucepan and add the remaining 1 cup of water. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly to prevent the fondue from sticking to the bottom.

10min

Dica: It is essential to stir continuously to ensure the correct texture and prevent burning.

5
misturar

When the mixture begins to thicken and reaches a melted cheese consistency, incorporate the lactic acid (or vinegar/lemon juice) and the fermented liquid (like kombucha, kefir, or rejuvel).

2min

Dica: Lactic acid/vinegar/lemon juice helps correct the acidity and improves texture, while the fermented liquid adds probiotics, characterizing a real cheese flavor.

6
cozinhar

Cook until the fondue is very hot and bubbling. Turn off the heat immediately upon reaching the desired point and transfer to a serving dish.

1min

Dica: Serve hot, accompanied by cooked vegetables (broccoli, carrots, cauliflower) or vegan bread (check the bread label).
