Best Three-Cheese Fondue

I have made this cheese fondue many times and it is by far my favorite recipe!  There are many good gluten-free breads you can use for dipping and apples are good too!

Enjoy!

BEST THREE-CHEESE FONDUE

1 cup white wine
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon gluten-free flour
7 ounces Gruyere cheese, cubed
7 ounces sharp Cheddar cheese, cubed
7 ounces Emmentaler cheese, cubed

1)  Bring the wine to a boil in a small saucepan.

2)  Meanwhile, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium low heat.  Whisk in the flour and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly to avoid sticking and burning.

3)  Once the flour is cooked, stir the wine into the flour mixture slowly.  Use a whisk to smooth the mixture.  Slowly add cubes of cheese; stir until cheese is melted.  Transfer cheese mixture to a fondue pot.  Keep warm over low flame.

Chocolate Fondue

This is the best chocolate fondue I have had and it's super easy to make!  Some of my favorites for dipping are bananas, pineapple and strawberries.  The kids love the marshmallows, pound cake, pretzels and Oreo cookies!

Enjoy!

CHOCOLATE FONDUE

1 pound of dark chocolate
1 pound of milk chocolate
1 pound white chocolate
3/4 cup heavy cream
6 ounces Grand Marnier

1)  Chop each of the chocolate into small pieces, separately.

2)  Place each type of chocolate into its own fondue pot.  Turn the pot setting to medium or 5.  In a saucepan, heat the cream and Grand Marnier.  When the cream comes to a simmer, remove from the heat and pour 1/3 over each type of chocolate.  Whisk until smooth.

NOTES:

~I normally don't do all three types of chocolate.  We like dark or semi-sweet chocolate the best and I always use Ghirardelli Chocolate.  It is the best in my opinion!

~I have left out the Grand Marnier and it is still delicious!
