Keto hollandaise is my all-time favorite sauce. It made from scratch, it is naturally keto friendly and has almost zero carbs.
The best keto sauce: keto hollandaise
Fresh hollandaise is so easy to whip together, that it is a wonder that anyone would ever make it from a powdered mix. With only 3 main ingredients – butter, egg yolk and fresh lemon juice, hollandaise is one of the 5 main sauces of French cuisine. Add some tarragon, shallot, and black pepper, and you have a delicious homemade low carb béarnaise sauce.
This Keto Hollandaise Sauce is easily my favorite sauce to put on EVERYTHING! It’s not only good for keto eggs benedict. Although, it does make a mean Low Carb Crab Cake Eggs Benedict, and a Keto Eggs Benedict Casserole.
But those wouldn’t even be my favorite way to enjoy this keto hollandaise sauce. My all-time favorite way to eat it is on top of a big, juicy steak, topped with crab meat and served with asparagus. I will pour it over the whole plate!
If you don’t want to set up a double-boiler, and whisk like crazy, you can always make this low carb hollandaise sauce in the blender. Easy peasy!
To make this keto hollandaise in the blender:
- Place the egg yolks, lemon juice, and hot sauce in a blender. Pulse until the ingredients are well combined.
- Turn the blender to high and slowly pour in the melted butter. Blend until the sauce is thick, about 30 seconds.

1st time I cooked this exactly to directions and the lemon is overpowering.
2nd time reduced to 1 tbsp of lemon and 1 tbsp of warm water, so much better!

I made this for our dinner tonight. I had frozen egg yolks due to my daughter’s baking of a “made from scratch” angel food cake last weekend (I took only a tiny taste; she used sugar of course). Anyway, I defrosted the 4 egg yolks and used my immersion blender with room temp fresh lemon juice. and it set up nicely Instead of a double boiler, I heated my butter to a boiling point. and with the immersion blender running, I poured the hot butter into the yolk and lemon juice emulsion. When the butter was completely blended, it was such a beautiful sauce! Then I added the sea salt and a pinch of cayenne. Lovely over our asparagus this evening. Thank you, Kyndra, I have two of your cookbooks.

For anyone who doesn’t want to fuss with a double broiler or drag out the big blender, I just wanted to share that I made this exactly how I make my 30-second mayo (with an immersion blender) and it turned out PERFECTLY! I added the yolks to the bottom of the tall container that came with the blender, then added the lemon juice and seasonings, then topped it off with the melted butter (that I had cooled to room temperature). Used my immersion blender to blend, and it was the perfect consistency! Delicious!
