Ingredients

  • 1 clove garlic, peeled and cut in half lengthwise
  • 12 ounces (1 ½ packages) ⅓ fat cream cheese
  • 1 cup almond or cashew milk
  • 8 ounces Swiss cheese, shredded
  • 8 ounces gruyere cheese, shredded
  • ½ cup low or no sugar mayonnaise
  • ½ cup sherry cooking wine or chicken broth
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper, optional
  • 22 ounces cooked lump crab meat (canned is just fine, drain off any excess liquid)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Rub the cut side of each garlic clove half all along the sides and bottom of a fondue crock; discard garlic clove.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine remaining ingredients except crab meat. Heat over medium to high heat, stirring almost constantly, until completely melted and blended together. If it is too thick for you, add more almond or cashew milk until desired consistency is achieved; if it is too thin for you, add about ½ teaspoon xanthan gum or gluccomannan.
  3. Add the crab meat, breaking it apart if it is sticking together. Allow to heat up, stirring almost constantly.
  4. Pour resulting crab and cheese fondue into the prepared fondue crock and serve.
