With just four ingredients, this Keto Cheese Sauce is a very easy low-carb white sauce with just 1g net carbs, great over steak, vegetables, or chicken.
This is a delicious keto cheese sauce – aka low-carb “Bechamel” sauce that you can make with cream cheese easily to add flavor and fat to many meat and vegetable dishes.
We use Mozzarella Cheese to thicken our keto cheese sauce (also known as “bechamel sauce”) as Cheddar Cheese releases a lot of oil when added. Mozzarella cheese also blends well when making a low-carb white sauce with cream cheese.
This keto cheese sauce recipe makes ten servings. One serve is 100ml/3.5oz.
Ingredients for Keto Cheese Sauce
- 8 ounces of Cream Cheese
- 1 cup of Butter

When choosing the cream cheese for this low-carb white sauce, just be sure to select the “full cream.” Avoid any no-fat or skim cream cheese. You want your sauce to be low-carb, not low-fat.
