Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz White American Cheese, shredded (for a smooth, creamy texture)
- 1 cup Heavy Cream (for richness)
- ½ cup Milk (to adjust consistency)
- 1 teaspoon Ground Cumin (adds warmth and depth)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder (for subtle savory flavor)
Instructions
- Melt the Cheese: In a medium saucepan over low heat, add the shredded White American cheese. Stir frequently to prevent sticking and burning.
- Add the Liquids: Once the cheese begins to melt, slowly pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly. Then, add the milk a little at a time, continuing to stir until smooth.
- Season the Dip: Sprinkle in the ground cumin and garlic powder. Stir well to incorporate the flavors evenly.
- Adjust the Consistency: If the dip is too thick, add a splash more milk until it reaches your desired consistency. Keep the heat low to prevent curdling.
- Serve Warm: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and enjoy immediately with tortilla chips, fresh veggies, or as a topping for your favorite Mexican dishes!
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of cumin and garlic powder to suit your taste preferences.
- If you like a bit of spice, consider adding a few drops of hot sauce or a pinch of cayenne pepper to kick up the heat.
- This dip is best served warm, but can be reheated gently over low heat if needed.
- For a richer flavor, substitute some of the milk with more heavy cream.
