Bring 3 cups of water to a boil in a high-sided pot.

Add 1 cup of heavy whipping cream to the boiling water.

Add a little bit of pink Himalayan salt to the pot.

Stir in 1 cup of old-fashioned grits (do not rinse the grits).

Reduce the heat to low and continuously mix the grits to prevent lumps and burning.

Once the grits have thickened, add 4 tablespoons of Kerry Gold butter and about 1.5 cups of cheddar cheese (adjust to taste).

Continue to mix on low heat for about 10 minutes.

Add an additional 0.5 cups of heavy whipping cream to the grits and mix well.

Taste for additional salt and pepper, adjusting as needed.

In the last 2-3 minutes, turn off the heat and add another 2 tablespoons of butter and the remaining cheese, mixing until smooth.
