This pretzel beer cheese dip has a sophisticated taste but is so easy to make! Full of cheddar flavor and, perfect for pretzel dunking!
Equipment
- Small saucepan
- Cheese Grater
- whisk
- Wooden Spoon
Ingredients
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup beer organic lager
- 1 ¾ cups extra old cheddar cheese freshly grated
- ¼ cup pizza mozzarella freshly grated
Instructions
- In a small saucepan melt the heavy cream and butter on medium heat. Do not allow the mixture to boil as you can burn the butter and cream.
- Once melted add the spices and mustard. Mix to combine.
- Next, add the beer and cook on medium heat for one minute.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the cheeses. If they don’t melt completely return to the heat on low and mix until the dip is smooth and creamy.
- Transfer to a serving bowl and serve immediately with soft pretzels!
Notes
- This dip is best made close to when you want to serve it. It will reheat but the texture is best when it’s freshly made.
- If you find the dip too thin add 1 tablespoon of flour to a small amount of the dip, mix well and return it to the saucepan and it will thicken quickly. If the dip is too thick add a bit more cream, butter, or a splash of milk or beer. Mix until the desired consistency.
- If you don’t have soft pretzels you can serve this dip with warm baguette slices, crispy pretzels, or raw veggies! Drinking a beer is also an excellent complement to this dip!
