Heat the soy kefir in a saucepan. Tip: You can make your own soy kefir by soaking kefir grains in soy milk and letting them mature. Alternatively, you can use soy milk and then add a little more spice. In a glass, combine half of the wine with the miso paste, the crushed garlic, and the cashew butter until smooth (the cashew butter is a bit tricky to spread). Add this to the kefir, stir, and heat. Season with salt and pepper. If the mixture isn’t homogeneous, you can now puree everything with a hand blender. Stir the tapioca starch into the other half of the wine until smooth. Add this mixture to the kefir mixture in the saucepan and stir well. Bring to a boil once, stirring continuously. Bring to a boil once, and the mixture will thicken. Season to taste, and the vegan cheese fondue is ready. Tips: Add broth powder and/or fat to taste. For a special touch, you can also add 1-2 cubes of Asian fermented tofu (mild). This is also available in Asian stores as “preserved tofu” or “pickled tofu.” It has a Roquefort flavor.
