Keto Garlic Pizza Sauce is a creamy and indulgent white pizza sauce. This sauce is made with butter, cheese, and cream, along with spices, so it is perfect for the keto diet because of the fat content. The addition of fresh garlic and Parmesan cheese in this sauce will deepen the taste, and Italian seasoning will provide the authentic flavor. This Keto Garlic Pizza Sauce contains a heavy amount of dairy, so it is best not to use dairy-free alternatives to prepare the non-dairy sauce, as it might change the taste and structure. This white sauce stocks up perfectly in both compartments in the refrigerator, so we can freely make a big batch for meal prep. It only contains 1g of net carbs.
