Can I freeze leftovers?

Yes, you can freeze the fondue sauce for up to 2 months. After thawing, blend it once more until smooth and creamy, then gently reheat it in a saucepan.

Can I replace or omit the cashews?

Cashews are what give the fondue sauce its rich, creamy texture, so they shouldn’t be omitted. For a nut-free alternative, you can use sunflower seeds instead.

How long does it keep in the fridge?

The vegan cheese fondue will keep in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. This means you can prepare it a few days before New Year’s Eve or another event, then simply reheat and serve on the day of your gathering.
