Steps:
- Place the cauliflower into a food processor with 1 cup vegetable stock and puree until very smooth. Add white beans to the cauliflower mix and run processor until fully blended. Mix should be thick and creamy.
- Transfer to a fondue pot or saucepan and heat on medium heat. If mixture is too thick, add more vegetable stock - up to 1/2 cup. Shred 1 cup of Parmesan cheese and slowly add to pot. Add caraway, nutmeg, white pepper and salt. Add white wine, optional, and serve with cubed bread and crudites.
LIGHTER CHOCOLATE FONDUE (OR GANACHE)
This is an amazingly dark, rich and sinful fondue with a lot less fat. Make sure to use the best quality chocolate you can get your hands on, since that is your main flavor here. I have listed the things we like to dip in our fondue; other ideas are cherries, dried apricots, walnut halves, marshmallows or anything else that sounds good to you! This could also be used as a ganache. I always wondered if I could make a lower fat ganache without whipping cream, and here it is (and surprisingly, it takes almost the same)! Use to frost cupcakes or fill cakes. Slightly adapted recipe from Ellie Krieger's Healthy Appetite on Food Network.

Steps:

- In a medium saucepan, whisk together cocoa powder and sugar. Slowly pour in evaporated milk, all the while whisking, to make a paste.
- Place the saucepan over low to medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until chocolate base is simmering.
- Remove pot from heat and whisk in vanilla and chocolate. Keep stirring until chocolate is completely melted. The mixture will be quite thick.
- Transfer chocolate to a fondue pot to keep warm. If you do not have a fondue pot, try serving the fondue in a warmed ceramic bowl.
- Dip fruit in chocolate. Spoon chocolate over angel food cake (it is too delicate for dipping) and enjoy!
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator. Rewarm by microwaving 35-45 seconds, stirring every 10 seconds.

Savor all the decadence without a lick of guilt! We kept all the velvety, melt-in-your-mouth texture of fudgy fondue in this lusciously lighter version. It's just the thing to kindle romantic after-dinner conversation or welcome friends in from the cold.

Transfer to a medium-sized saucepan and bring to a low boil over low heat, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Transfer chocolate sauce to fondue pot. Place pot over candle or canned heat burner. Slide fruit pieces onto fondue fork or toothpick and dip into sauce. For nuts, spoon sauce onto a plate and dip nuts in sauce by hand.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate: The better the chocolate, the better the fondue. Look for a chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60%.
- Don't overheat the chocolate: Overheating can cause the chocolate to seize and become grainy. Heat the chocolate slowly and gently, stirring constantly.
- Add a little bit of milk or cream: This will help to make the fondue smooth and creamy. You can also add other flavors, such as vanilla extract, cinnamon, or chili powder.
- Serve the fondue with a variety of dippers: Some popular dippers include strawberries, bananas, marshmallows, and pretzels. You can also serve the fondue with pieces of cake or brownies.
- Keep the fondue warm: If you're serving the fondue at a party, keep it warm by placing it in a fondue pot or slow cooker. You can also reheat the fondue in the microwave.
