Tips for Creating an Amazing Low Carb Cheese Sauce
Keto cheese sauce can be an incredibly easy and versatile addition to your low carb repertoire. To ensure the best Keto cheese sauce every time, it is important that you slowly whisk the cream into the butter a little at a time, ensuring the fats and liquids are fully emulsified. Secondly, be sure to add the cheese a little at a time, stirring constantly until completely melted and smooth. Once you have mastered this easy Keto cheese sauce recipe you can experiment by adding different cheeses or any low carb seasonings you desire.
How to Thin or Thicken Your Keto Cheese Sauce
This Keto cheddar cheese sauce requires no additional thickening agents outside of the main three ingredients. Butter, heavy cream and cheddar cheese are simply melted together to create a naturally thick and rich Keto cheese sauce. Once melted together, simply allow the sauce to stand and cool for 5 minutes to thicken up further. If you desire a thinner Keto cheese sauce recipe, you can add a little almond milk or vegetable stock to the saucepan to thin the sauce to your liking.

Keto or otherwise, done with old Cheddar, this is hands down the best cheese sauce I have ever tasted. Can't wait to try it with some chives added.

Does not re-heat well after refrigeration. I tried to re-heat this sauce using a saucepan on a stove and it turned into goopy cheese in yellow oil.

All these recipes are wonderful but I can not see any symbol saying whether recipe can be frozen or not🧐

I agree, it would be great to get information on whether you can/how to freeze the dishes on here.

Whoa! I’ve tried to use sharp cheddar in cheese sauce to no avail. But this? Omg. I added a dash of smoked paprika, dash of crushed red pepper and a dash of nutmeg. Served over garlic roasted broccoli. Omg.

I made this for the 1st time today and liked it. However, I think next time I will add some pepper or paprika for a little bit of kick.

This was lovely. I used extra mature cheddar cheese so it was quite a strong cheese flavour.

I loved the recipe but my sauce thickens too much. Any ideas for what I can try to keep it more of a sauce?

I add grated Parmigiano Regianno (to taste) and 1 tsp of Paprika and 1 tsp of regular mustard. It's so good my kids who are NOT doing Keto keep asking me to make it 😁

I added a dash of Kinders the blend and a dash of tarragon and poured over roasted cauliflower. It was so amazing! The entire family devoured it. We had some leftover so I’m excited to see how it holds up for leftovers.

Really good cheese sauce! I followed the instructions except for letting it sit 5 mins at the end. I let it sit 1-2 mins. It started getting a skin then. I added 1 tsp low sugar mustard and a little extra salt. Made exactly 1 cup so portioning it out was easy, I just used a 1/4 cup measuring scoop.
