Hmmmmmmmm! There are so many incredibly delicious things to have a keto-friendly cheese fondue with ๐ Just be careful! The ready-made cheese fondue sauces are not suitable for this lifestyle because they contain potato starch. But it’s really easy to make a delicious dipping cheese yourself! And the great thing is that you can go for the flavor combination you like the most.
For the cheese sauce
- Heavy cream of your choice (I used Alpro cooking cream)
- A bouillon cube
- A piece of Port Salut cheese (cut into cubes)
- Grated cheddar cheese
- Grated Parmesan cheese
(Preferably use cheese from a block that you grate yourself, as pre-packaged grated cheese often contains added starch). I did the quantities purely by feel, so you can also play around with the intensity of the specific types of cheese yourself.
Suggestions for dipping in the sauce
- Brussels sprouts (cooked until al dente)
- Cauliflower florets (cooked until al dente)
- Broccoli florets (cooked until al dente)
- Green asparagus tips (cooked until al dente)
- Mushrooms (raw)
- Yellow and green zucchini (raw)
- Pieces of keto-friendly bread
- Green beans (cooked until al dente)
- Pieces of cooked chicken breast (if not vegetarian)
- Pieces of cooked hamburger (if not vegetarian)
Preparation
Heat the ingredients for the sauce in a small saucepan until all the cheese has melted, and the sauce has reached the right thickness. If it’s too thick, add some extra cream; if it’s too thin, add some extra cheese or let it simmer a bit longer. Pour the sauce into a fondue pot with a warming function.
