Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon cherry brandy
• 4 teaspoons cornstarch
• 1 pinch cayenne pepper
• 1 pinch freshly grated nutmeg
• 8 ounces shredded Gruyere cheese
• 1 clove garlic, slightly crushed
• 8 ounces shredded Emmentaler cheese
• 1.25 cups dry white wine (such as Sauvignon Blanc)

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Add white wine, cherry brandy, garlic clove, cayenne, nutmeg, and cornstarch to a saucepan. Whisk to combine and place on the stove over medium heat. Cook, whisking occasionally, until mixture thickens slightly and you can see wisps of steam in the pan, 3 to 5 minutes.

Step 2

Add Gruyère and Emmentaler cheeses, one handful at a time, slowly whisking after each addition until melted. Continue whisking until all cheese is melted and sauce is very smooth. Remove from the heat and transfer into a fondue pot to serve.

Step 3

Keep sauce warm while serving so it doesn't solidify.
