Ingredients

• 2 cups Shredded mild cheddar cheese
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 1.5 cups Whole milk
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 cups Broccoli florets (optional, as a dipper)
• 1.5 cups Baby carrots (optional, as a dipper)
• 2 cups Cubed bread (optional, as a dipper)
• 1.5 cups Apple slices (optional, as a dipper)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, toss the shredded cheddar cheese and mozzarella cheese with the cornstarch until the cheese is thoroughly coated. This will help prevent clumping during the melting process.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, heat the whole milk and butter over medium-low heat until it is just warm and the butter has melted. Avoid boiling.

Step 3

Slowly add the cheese mixture to the saucepan, one handful at a time, stirring constantly with a whisk or silicone spatula. Wait until each addition melts completely before adding the next.

Step 4

Once all the cheese is melted and the mixture is smooth, stir in the garlic powder and salt. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 5

Transfer the fondue to a heat-safe fondue pot or a small slow cooker set to warm to keep it melted and creamy.

Step 6

Serve the fondue with a variety of kid-friendly dippers like broccoli florets, baby carrots, cubed bread, and apple slices. Encourage dipping and enjoy the fun!
