Notes

  • net carbs per serving: 1g
  • Storage: Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • Reheating: Reheat leftover cheese sauce in a sauce pan on the stove top. It may be necessary to add some extra cream to bring the sauce back to life. 
  • Consistency: If the cheese sauce feels too thick, add more heavy cream a little at a time, until it reaches your desired consistency. If it is too thin, add more cheese.
  • Change up the cheese: This keto cheese sauce is delicious with just about any type of cheese you might have on hand. Some of my favorites are smoked mozzarella, gruyere, sharp white cheddar, mozzarella, or parmesan cheeses. Even better, use a mixture of multiple cheeses.
