Cheese and Dairy Ingredients

  • 8 oz White American Cheese Finely shredded for easier melting.
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream Adds creamy texture.
  • 1/2 cup Milk Adjust for desired consistency.

Spices

  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cumin Adds warmth and depth.
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder Infuses flavor.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a medium saucepan, combine the shredded White American cheese, heavy cream, and milk. Stir together gently.

Cooking

  • Cook over low heat, stirring continuously until the cheese fully melts and the mixture is smooth.
  • Sprinkle in the ground cumin and garlic powder, mixing well to incorporate the spices.
  • If the dip seems too thick, add a splash more milk until you reach the desired consistency.

Serving

Notes

For best results, use high-quality cheese and keep the heat low to avoid burning. You can prepare the dip ahead of time and reheat it over low heat, adding milk as needed for consistency.
