75 minutes
Cheese fondue in a pumpkin is an exquisite dish that combines Swedish culinary tradition with the autumn warmth of fragrant pumpkin. Baked until soft, the pumpkin becomes a natural vessel for the velvety cheese fondue made from Gruyère, cream, and white wine. The light spiciness of chili pepper, the aromatic scent of sage, and the rich flavor of mushrooms add depth and sophistication to the dish. Cheese fondue is perfect for cozy evenings when you can dip pieces of crispy bread directly into the hot, rich mixture, enjoying its intense and gooey taste. This dish will be a centerpiece at festive gatherings, surprising guests with its original presentation and harmonious combination of ingredients.
