How to Make Homemade Cheese Whiz

  1. Melt 1/4 cup (57g) of butter in a double boiler over medium-low heat.
  2. Gradually add 2 cups (227g) of shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese blend) to the melted butter, stirring constantly until melted and smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large egg yolks, 1/2 cup (120ml) of evaporated milk, and 2 tablespoons (14g) of all-purpose flour until well combined.
  4. Gradually whisk the egg yolk mixture into the melted cheese mixture in the double boiler.
  5. Cook, stirring constantly, until the cheese sauce has thickened to your desired consistency (about 5-7 minutes).
  6. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  7. Transfer the cheese whiz to an airtight jar or container. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow it to thicken further.
  8. Enjoy your homemade cheese whiz! Use it as a dip, topping for nachos, in casseroles, or anywhere your culinary creativity takes you.
