1/3 cup pure maple syrup
2 Tbsp. whipped light cream cheese
1/4 tsp. pure vanilla extract
pinch of cinnamon
assortment of fruits and breakfast breads for dipping: strawberries, banana chunks, fresh or canned pineapple chunks, and melon pieces; mini pancakes, frozen, prepared french toast fingers, mini whole grain toaster waffles
Combine the undrained peaches, maple syrup, whipped cream cheese, vanilla and cinnamon in a blender or food processor, fitted with a metal blade. Puree on high until smooth. It's okay if there are a few lumps of cream cheese still showing. They will disappear when you cook the peach mixture in the next step.
Pour the mixture into a saucepan. Warm it over medium-high heat, stirring often, until the cream cheese fully melts, and the sauce starts to bubble around the edges.
Serve the fondue in a big bowl surrounded by whole grain mini pancakes or waffles, French toast fingers or fresh fruit for dipping.
