Pizza Fondue

I took our favorite pizza toppings, slapped them on a stick, then whipped up a quick mozzarella fondue for dunking, slathering, and eating straight up with a spoon.

Ingredients
 

For the fondue:

  • 1 clove garlic (grated)
  • 1 cup dry white wine (divided (I used Sauvignon Blanc))
  • 1/2 Tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 2 ounces cream cheese (cut in small cubes)
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella
  • 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan or Asiago
  • Pinch Nutmeg
  • Italian Herbs (optional)

For serving:

  • Meatballs
  • Pepperoni
  • Garlic Bread (cubed)
  • Peppers (chopped)
  • Mushrooms
  • Marinara sauce

Instructions

For the dippers:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Soak bamboo skewers in water for 10 minutes. Place chunks of garlic bread, meatball, and pepperoni on skewers. Or you can skip the skewers and place them directly on a baking sheet. Bake for 6-8 minutes or until garlic bread is crisped and meatballs are heated through.

For the fondue:

  • Heat a small sauce pan over medium high heat. Add the grated garlic to the pan and saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add all but about 2 Tablespoons of the wine and lemon juice to the pot and bring to a simmer.
  • Add the cream cheese and whisk until melted. Add the cheese, a handful at a time, whisking well after each addition, until mixture is smooth and cheese is totally melted.
  • Dissolve a Tablespoon of cornstarch in the remaining wine. Whisk it into the pot and allow it to simmer for an additional minute or two or until thickened.
  • Season with a pinch of nutmeg and sprinkle with Italian herbs if desired. Transfer to a fondue pot to keep warm or serve immediately.
  • Add marinara sauce to a microwave safe bowl, cover, and microwave until hot through, stirring every minute.
  • Serve fondue and marinara with meatball skewers and fresh vegetables.

Notes

  • This recipe is easily doubled or tripled to serve a crowd.
  • I do not recommend using pre-shredded cheese as it can be difficult to melt and may cause clumping.
  • If you're serving this to kids, feel free to substitute milk for the wine.
