Category: Appetizer
Servings: 1
Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Parmigiano Reggiano DOP | 250g |
| Fresh liquid cream | 280g |
| Black pepper | To taste |
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Base: Begin by pouring the fresh liquid cream into a small saucepan. Place the pan over medium heat and warm the cream gently. Stir occasionally to ensure that it doesn’t boil or scorch at the bottom.
-
-
Add the Cheese: Gradually add the finely grated Parmigiano Reggiano DOP to the pan, a little at a time. As the cheese melts, keep stirring continuously to create a smooth and consistent mixture. This helps the cheese incorporate seamlessly into the cream, forming the base of your fondue.
-
Simmer for a Perfect Consistency: Let the mixture simmer on low heat for a few minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the consistency to thicken. Stir frequently to prevent the cheese from clumping or sticking to the pan.
-
Blend for Smoothness: If you prefer an ultra-smooth and creamy texture, you can use an immersion blender to blend the fondue until it is velvety and lump-free. This step is optional but enhances the richness of the fondue.
-
Serve: Once your fondue has reached the desired consistency, transfer it to a traditional fondue pot or a serving dish. For the final touch, add a pinch of freshly ground black pepper to taste, enhancing the flavor with a mild kick of spice.
