How to Make Homemade Cheese Whiz Clone

  1. Combine 2 cups milk and 16 ounces of cheddar cheese (shredded) in a double boiler or a heat-safe bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water. Stir frequently until the cheese is completely melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  2. Reduce heat to low. Whisk in 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon paprika, and 1/4 teaspoon mustard powder until fully combined and smooth.
  3. Stir in 1/4 cup of heavy cream and 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (optional, for a little kick). Continue to cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened.
  4. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  5. Fill sterilized pint jars to 3/4 full.
  6. Seal jars tightly. Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust processing time based on your altitude – consult a canning guide for precise instructions).
  7. Let jars cool completely. Check for proper seals (jars should not flex). Store in a cool, dark place.
