Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Shredded mild cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1.5 cups Whole milk
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 cups Broccoli florets (optional, as a dipper)
- 1.5 cups Baby carrots (optional, as a dipper)
- 2 cups Cubed bread (optional, as a dipper)
- 1.5 cups Apple slices (optional, as a dipper)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, toss the shredded cheddar cheese and mozzarella cheese with the cornstarch until the cheese is thoroughly coated. This will help prevent clumping during the melting process.
In a medium saucepan, heat the whole milk and butter over medium-low heat until it is just warm and the butter has melted. Avoid boiling.
Slowly add the cheese mixture to the saucepan, one handful at a time, stirring constantly with a whisk or silicone spatula. Wait until each addition melts completely before adding the next.
Once all the cheese is melted and the mixture is smooth, stir in the garlic powder and salt. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Transfer the fondue to a heat-safe fondue pot or a small slow cooker set to warm to keep it melted and creamy.
Serve the fondue with a variety of kid-friendly dippers like broccoli florets, baby carrots, cubed bread, and apple slices. Encourage dipping and enjoy the fun!
