Best Keto Alfredo Sauce
Pre-Keto, while I have always loved a good alfredo sauce – let’s face it. The nutrition for a traditional low calorie diet – this just isn’t a good option.

But since we are doing the dirty keto diet or a low carb diet, the fats and ingredients compliment it well. Our delicious homemade keto alfredo sauce cream cheese version is the perfect topping for vegetables and meats. Let’s get cooking.
Ingredients
Here are the ingredients you will need to make this keto sauce:

- Butter (unsalted or salted)
- Garlic (fresh garlic is best but granulated or minced garlic works fine)
- Heavy Cream
- Parmesan Cheese
- Cream Cheese
- Salt (sea salt preferably, but table salt will work)
- Parsley (this is optional, I will rotate between parsley and basil – you choose!)
- Black Pepper
How to Make
I told you that this was an EASY keto alfredo sauce, right? This delicious low carb topping will be ready in under 5 minutes. Here is how to make keto alfredo sauce.

First, get your favorite sauce pan. Toss in your butter and garlic. Using a whisk (or whatever you kitchen utensil you prefer) – stir the butter and garlic until it melts into a yummy garlic butter sauce.
Next, you will add in your heavy cream, your grated parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, softened cream cheese and if you choose, dried parsley or basil.

Continue to whisk the alfredo ingredients together over a low to medium heat. Cook until the sauce is hot. The consistency should be thick, smooth and creamy.
Give it a taste and adjust to your liking. Want a little saltier? Add salt. For a thinner sauce – add in a small amount of water.

Keto Alfredo Sauce Recipe
Let's make a delicious low carb sauce that will knock your socks off. Not only is this sauce creamy, it packs a delicious and flavorful punch! The taste reminds me of Olive Garden alfredo sauce with its parmesan richness. Bonus, this keto alfredo sauce only has 2 net carbs!
Ingredients
- Butter - 1.25 Tablespoons
- Garlic - 1 Clove
- Heavy Whipping Cream - 1.25 Cups
- Parmesan Cheese - 3/4 Cup
- Soft Cream Cheese Spread - 1/3 Cup
- Salt - 1 TSP
- Pepper - 1 TSP
- Parsley (or Basil) - 1 TSP
Instructions
- Place butter and garlic into a sauce pan and melt. Whisk together to create garlic butter sauce.
- Once garlic butter is melted, mix in heavy whipping cream (HWC), parmesan, cream cheese (softened), salt, pepper and optionally parsley or basil.
- Stir together on medium heat for approximately 5 minutes.
- Alfredo sauce should be a thick, creamy consistency.
- Taste and flavor to your liking.
Notes
Make this keto alfredo sauce to your liking! If you prefer a salitier version, add more salt. Like garlic? Increase the garlic.
If you desire an extra thick alfredo sauce, try adding in egg yolks.
Substitutes
GARLIC - If you don't have fresh garlic, use granulated or powder garlic. I keep chopped garlic in my fridge, this is a great alternative / substitute for garlic cloves.
HEAVY WHIPPING CREAM - HWC: Milk can be used to replace heavy whipping cream, but do note it will not be as thick. Another alternative is using sour cream. Again, it will not be as thick, but when times are desperate use what you can!
DRIED HERBS - while I add parsley or basil to my alfredo, feel free to add whatever you have in your spice rack that you like! Italian seasoning is a great alternative as it typically has parsley and basil (and garlic too!)
