How to make Wisconsin cheddar cheese truly romantic with fondue on Valentine's Day 🧀 💕
MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- With Valentine's Day around the corner, we will look at any opportunity to make cheese more romantic. A Valentine's Day fondue solves that problem.
Adam Motschman from Melting Pot joined us on Friday, Feb. 10 to showcase two fondue varieties: a Wisconsin cheddar cheese fondue, and for dessert, a cookies and cream marshmallow dream fondue.
Not only are the dishes meant as Valentine's Day favorites, but Melting Pot also said there are plenty of other reasons to enjoy a warm fondue. From "Galentine's," an unofficial holiday meant for spending quality time with friends you love to a "Thursdate," a perfect day for a romantic meal if the calendar does not quite allow it to happen on Feb. 14.
The recipe used for the Wisconsin cheddar fondue can be found below:
Ingredients:
- 2 oz (vol) Cheese Base, Sam Adams BeerBlend - Large Batch

- 1 1/2 shakes Mustard Powder
- 2 1/2 oz (w) Kindred Cheddar/Swiss Blend
