Tips for making the best cheese fondue foam:

Cheese fondue is not just a dip; it is a great way to socialize with your friends and family. This crowd-pleaser dip is the star of every celebration dinner, be it New Year’s Eve, Christmas, or holidays. And the best thing is that it’s not as difficult as it may sound. This creamy, indulgent, and luxurious sauce is worth the effort! 

To ensure that your fondue turns out luxuriously smooth and creamy, here are a few tips that you must follow, especially if you are making cheese fondue for the first time. 

Fondue Tip no 1: Use Premium Quality Cheese:

Though it may add to the total costs involved in making the dip, it is essential. The taste and texture of the cheese you are using will determine the overall characteristics of the final product. The classic swiss cheese fondue is made from a combination of firm mountain-style cheeses. In most cheese fondue recipes, you will see that it is made from gruyere, gouda, and fontina. However, you can use cheeses that melt smoothly with a buttery and creamy texture. 

Fondue Tip no 2: The Right Way to Prepare the Cheese:

For making a fondue, you need to melt the cheese smoothly. For this purpose, it is better to grate the cheese instead of chopping it. You can grate the cheese in the food processor quickly and conveniently by using its grater blade. You can also use the coarse side of a box grater if you prefer a manual method. 

Fondue Tip No 3: Toss in the cornstarch:

Though it may seem a minor step, it is somewhat crucial for the smoothness of the fondue. Cornstarch helps the fondue to thicken and prevent unwanted lumps in the mixture. 

Fondue Tip No 4: Use good wine:

Classic cheese fondue recipes include wine. We suggest you use any dry and acidic wines. The acidity of wine helps keep the texture smooth. Make sure that you add the wine you and your friend love, as wine is a key factor in the taste of fondue. We have used beer in this recipe instead of wine, and it tastes scrumptious. 

If you are avoiding alcohol, then you can use unsalted vegetable or chicken stock for flavor. 

Fondue Tip No 5: Keep it smooth

Make sure that your homemade cheese fondue attains the same silky smoothness as the restaurant cheese fondue. It is crucial to control the speed with which you add the cheese to the pot. The more patience you exercise at this step, the more luscious your cheese fondue will turn out. 

Do not use the cheese, which is packed shredded. They contain some additives which prevent them from melting. If you add them, you will never achieve an ideally smooth texture.
