Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups mild cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3 cups assorted dippers (bread cubes, apple slices, cherry tomatoes, etc.)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, toss the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses with the cornstarch until evenly coated. This will help thicken your fondue.
In a small saucepan or fondue pot, heat the milk and butter over medium heat until warm and the butter melts completely.
Gradually add the cheese mixture to the warm milk, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula. Add small amounts of cheese at a time, allowing it to melt completely before adding more.
Once all the cheese has melted, stir in the garlic powder for added flavor. Continue to stir until the fondue is smooth and creamy.
Transfer the fondue to a fondue pot or small, heat-safe bowl placed over a warming mechanism to keep it hot.
Arrange the dippers on a platter around the fondue, and let the kids enjoy dipping bread cubes, apple slices, cherry tomatoes, or anything they like into the cheesy goodness!
