Why It Works
  • Fresh or frozen cherries provide a burst of juicy, summery flavor. They're naturally sweet, so you don't need to add a ton of sugar to the fondue.
  • Coconut milk lends a creamy, slightly tropical flavor to the fondue. It's a great dairy-free alternative to heavy cream or milk.
  • Raw honey adds a touch of sweetness and depth of flavor. It's a natural sweetener that's also packed with antioxidants.
  • Almond butter gives the fondue a nutty, rich flavor. It also helps to thicken the fondue and make it extra creamy.
  • Vanilla extract and cinnamon add warmth and depth of flavor to the fondue. They're like the secret spices that make everything taste better.
