Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Heat the Base: Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Pour in the heavy cream, stirring lightly until warmed through.
- Add Cream Cheese: Mix softened cream cheese into the pan until it melts completely in with the creamy mixture.
- Stir in Shredded Cheese: Slowly add shredded cheddar cheese, while stirring until melted and creamy.
- Season: Stir in garlic powder, paprika (if using), and season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir well to get all the flavours together.
- Serve Warm: When dip is thick and creamy, remove from heat. Let it stand for 2 minutes, then transfer to a serving bowl. Garnish with optional toppings.
Notes
- Use pre-shredded cheese as a time saver (but check it’s low-carb – no added starches).
- Throw in some diced jalapeños for extra heat, or ground beef to make it a heartier dip.
- Stir constantly to prevent the dip from separating or scorching.
- If you want to keep the veggies in their original texture, warm over low heat or microwave on a reheat setting.
- Add a splash of broth or more cream to thin it out if desired.
