Instructions
- Softened cream cheese at room temperature to make it easily blend in. This step is crutial.
- To a sauce pan, add softened cream and melt it on gentle heat (on medium low flame).
- Pour beer slowly and keep whisking to blend into cream cheese.Pro-Tip : Do not melt cream cheese on high heat or boil it. It will turn grainy and form lumps.
- Once cream cheese is fully blended, add freshly grated cheese. Sharp cheddar, Mozzarella cheese is my choice of cheese.
- Next add the seasoning.
- Add garlic powder, mustard powder, smoked paprika and salt and pepper to taste.Note : Be careful before you add salt. The saltiness in the cheese might be enough. If needed, season and taste as you go.
- On low/gentle heat keep stirring to help cheese melt.
- Once cheese is completely melted, transfer to serving bowl.
- Serve immediately with warm pretzels.
Notes
- Nutritional Info – Please keep in mind that nutritional information provided is only a rough estimate and can vary greatly based on products used.
- To help cream cheese blend easily, softened it at room temperature before you start making the cheese dip.
- Cooking on gentle heat is the key here. Do not cook sauce on high temperature or boil it. Cook softened cream cheese and beer on low temperature for cheese to melt completely. Be patience.
- Beer with mellow flavors and light in color are best beer to use. Strong beer might alter the flavor od this cheese sauce. Suggest you use lager or ale types of beer.
- Make sure to use freshly grated cheese. Pre-grated cheese in stores has a coating which usually prevents the cheese from melting smoothly. It might turn into lumps.
- Adjust seasoning as per taste. Taste and then season as needed.
- This cheese dip is best when served immediately, made fresh. If you are pressed of time, you can make it ahead and store in fridge for upto 2 days. Reheat on very low flame in microwave or stove top before serving.
