FAQ’s When Making Queso Blanco
Can I Substitute Half and Half For The Milk?
Yes, you can substitute half and half for the milk. You will find that your dip will be a little creamier, so you might want to add a little water to thin it out a bit.
Where Can I Find Pickled Jalapenos?
Pickled jalapenos come in a can or a jar and can be found down the Mexican isle of your local grocery store.
What If I Can’t Find Queso Blanco Cheese?
If you are unable to find Velveeta Queso Blanco cheese, you can use a white American cheese. I like to go to my local deli and get a big block of white cheese.
