½ cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
4 oz cheddar cheese

Whisk until the cream cheese is completely melted and smooth. Stir in the paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the cheddar and gouda cheese to the pan and whisk until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
