This creamy keto alfredo sauce is very low-carb, with garlic, parmesan cheese, and a hint of nutmeg. Perfect with carb-free noodles or grilled chicken.
This recipe makes 2 cups of keto alfredo sauce or eight serves. One serve is a ¼ cup.
Keto Alfredo Sauce can be kept in the fridge for up to 1 week or frozen for up to 3 months. Always reheat very slowly, as a sharp change in temperature can cause the sauce to curdle.
Keto Alfredo Sauce Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons of Butter
- 2 cloves of Garlic, crushed
- 2 ounces of Cream Cheese
- 1 ½ cups of Heavy Cream
- ½ cup of Parmesan Cheese shredded
- ½ teaspoon of White Pepper, ground
- ¼ teaspoon of Nutmeg, ground
- Salt, to taste
How to Make Keto Alfredo Sauce
- Place a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat.
- Add the butter and garlic and saute for 2 minutes, until fragrant.
- Add the cream cheese. When it has melted, add the heavy cream to a slow simmer. Do not let the sauce boil, as it will split.
- Whisk the cream while slowly adding all the parmesan cheese.
- Simmer for 10 minutes before adding the pepper and nutmeg.

This was so good! I added this sauce to my broccoli, ground turkey and rotini pasta and my kiddos and husband loved it. I’m not a fan of Aldredo sauce and this recipe has completely changed my mind. So Yummy, thank you!Reply

AWESOME ALFREDO SAUCEReply
Excellent sauce. I did add a shallot that I sauteed in a bit of olive oil to break it down, but otherwise followed the recipe. My picky 17 year-old son liked it. Hubby licked his plate clean.
A keeper!

Delicious! I even got my daughters stamp of approval. She is extremely picky and the worst critic when it comes to food. I will definitely be making this again.The only thing I did not do was add the nutmeg to the recipe. Everything else I followed exactly
