Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 Tbsp olive oil
2 clove garlic, minced or zested
3 box (8oz) cream cheese or 2 pkg cream cheese and 8oz sour cream)
1 1/4 c whipping cream (heavy cream)
1 Tbsp dried basil
1 tsp chili powder (less if you do not like spicy foods)
1 tsp dried oregano
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1. In a medium pot over medium heat, heat the oil and saute the garlic being careful to not burn garlic or it will be bitter. Gradually add the rest of the ingredients, except for the items you wish to use for dippers. Once all the ingredients are melted and well mixed, transfer the mixture into your cheese fondue pot.
  • 2. Light the fondue burner and adjust the heat to maintain the cheese fondue warm but not too hot. Arrange a tray with fondue skewers and items for dipping.
  • 3. Note: If your mixture is too thick, add more light cream (or alcohol of your choice). If the mixture is too runny, add cheese.
  • 4. Tip: If you are preparing this dip ahead of time, make sure to have more cream handy to soften the dip when you serve it.
  • 5. Suggestions for dipping: Pieces of Italian Bread, pretzel sticks, cooked shrimp, cooked ham, mushrooms and steamed broccoli, Boiled potatoes cubed into bite size and assortment of vegetables.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cheese: Use a good quality cream cheese that is smooth and spreadable. Avoid using whipped cream cheese, as it will not melt as well.
  • Use a heavy bottomed pot: This will help to prevent the fondue from burning.
  • Cook over low heat: This will help to prevent the fondue from curdling.
  • Stir constantly: This will help to keep the fondue smooth and prevent it from sticking to the pot.
  • Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste.
  • Serve with a variety of dippers: Bread, vegetables, and fruit are all great options.

Conclusion:

Cream cheese fondue is a delicious and easy appetizer or party food. It is perfect for dipping bread, vegetables, and fruit. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a creamy and flavorful fondue that everyone will love.
