Simple Daiya Fondue

Servings: 
2-3
Preparation Time: 
10
Ingredients: 
1 clove garlic, halved lengthwise
3/4 cup sauvignon blanc
1 package (2 cups) Daiya mozzarella shreds
1/2 Tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon nutritional yeast (optional)
Instructions: 

Rub the inside of a stove-safe fondue pot or top of a double boiler with the cut sides of the garlic, then discard the garlic. Turn on the heat under the fondue pot or put water in the bottom of the double boiler and turn on the heat, to about medium or medium-high. Put the sauvignon blanc in the pot and bring it to a simmer. Meanwhile, put the cornstarch in the bag of Daiya and shake it up to mix. Once the wine is simmering, add the Daiya mixture, a small handful at a time, to the pot, and stir constantly. Add each next handful when the previous one has almost completely melted. Once all the Daiya has melted, sprinkle with nutritional yeast (if desired), and mix again. Take the pot off the stove, and keep a fondue pot warm on its burner or keep the double boiler warm by not removing the top from the boiling water underneath. Enjoy with your favorite dippers.
