Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

4 c shredded irish cheddar cheese (10 ounces)
1 1/2 Tbsp cornstarch
1 Tbsp butter
2 medium cloves garlic, finely minced (about 2 teaspoons)
12 oz irish stout beer
2 Tbsp irish whiskey
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground mustard powder

Steps:

1. Toss the shredded cheese with the cornstarch in a large bowl and set aside.
2. Melt the butter in a large saucepan or saucier over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant and just beginning to brown, about 1 minute. Pour in the stout and whiskey, stir in salt and mustard powder. When the sauce begins to simmer, reduce heat to medium low.
3. Add one (1) handful of the cheese and cornstarch mixture to the pot and whisk until the cheese is completely melted. Continue adding handfuls of the cheese mixture to the pot, stirring until each addition is melted before adding the next addition of cheese; this will take 2 to 3 minutes. When all of the cheese has been melted, continue to cook and stir until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon, 1 to 2 minutes more. Transfer the fondue to a bowl and serve immediately with cubed bread, sliced apples, or leftover corned beef as dippers.

Tips:

Use a heavy-bottomed pot or saucepan to make the fondue, as this will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the cheese from burning.
Grate the cheese yourself, as this will give you a more even melt than using pre-shredded cheese.
Use a combination of cheeses to create a more complex flavor. For example, you could use a blend of cheddar, Gruyère, and Swiss cheese.
Add a little bit of cornstarch to the cheese mixture to help it thicken and become smooth.
Be patient when melting the cheese. Stir it constantly over low heat until it is melted and smooth.
Serve the fondue with a variety of dipping options, such as bread cubes, vegetables, and fruit.

Conclusion:

Irish cheddar and stout fondue is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich and flavorful cheese sauce, it is sure to be a hit with your friends and family. So next time you are looking for a special treat, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
