Real Phat Foods Almond Flour Crackers
Melt butter in a medium-sized skillet or sauce pan on medium heat.
Sprinkle 1/2 tsp xanthan gum into butter while whisking and then repeat with the second 1/2 tsp and whisk in for 30 seconds (sprinkle while blending is the key).
Add minced garlic to the roux and brown for approximately 1 minute.
Add your beer and heavy whipping cream and whisk together. Add mustard and stir to combine. Let simmer for 2-3 minutes while continuously whisking.
Stir in freshly grated cheese and stir continuously until cheese is fully melted and dip is thoroughly combined. Let sit for 3-5 minutes to continue to thicken.
Serve hot with Real Phat Foods almond flour crackers. Enjoy!

** We highly recommend using block cheese you freshly grate for this recipe..the additional ingredients in pre-shredded cheese will impact the texture of your dip. You can also choose any cheese you like depending on your flavor preferences.
