  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup milk (adjust as needed for consistency)
  • Optional: 2 tbsp lemon zest or fruit puree (for added flavor)
  • Dippables: Fresh fruit (strawberries, bananas, pineapple), cake cubes, marshmallows, cookies, pretzels

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the cream cheese, heavy cream, and milk. Stir continuously to ensure the cream cheese is fully softened and mixed into the cream.
  2. Once smooth, add the sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until the mixture is fully incorporated and smooth.
  3. Continue heating the mixture, stirring occasionally to prevent clumping, until it reaches a smooth and velvety texture. If desired, add lemon zest or fruit puree for additional flavor.
  4. Once the mixture is smooth and well-blended, transfer it to a fondue pot to keep warm.
  5. Serve with an assortment of dippables like fresh fruit, cake cubes, cookies, and marshmallows.
  6. Enjoy immediately while the fondue is warm and creamy!

Notes

  • Make sure to soften the cream cheese before mixing to avoid lumps.
  • You can adjust the texture by adding more milk if the fondue is too thick.
  • For a chocolate cheesecake fondue, melt some dark chocolate and mix it into the cream cheese base.
  • If you’re making this ahead of time, store the fondue in an airtight container and reheat gently before serving.
