Irish Cheddar Fondue with Stout and Whiskey image

I am unsure where this originated from but one of my girlfriends brought this to girls night. She came prepared with recipe and directions made up for us. Smart girl!! Since then, I have made this up several times with several different groups of people and it has not lasted very long. It is always a good thing when some is...

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 good quality cheddar cheese that melts well. A mature cheddar will have a stronger flavor than a younger cheddar. - If you don't have stout on hand, you can use a dark beer or even a Guinness. - To make the fondue smoother, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve before serving. - Serve the fondue with a variety of dippers, such as bread cubes, vegetables, or fruit. - Keep the fondue warm over a low flame or in a fondue pot.

Conclusion:

Irish cheddar and stout fondue is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It is creamy, cheesy, and flavorful, with a hint of beer that adds a unique twist. Serve it with your favorite dippers and enjoy!
