Carnivore Alfredo Sauce

Carnivore Alfredo Sauce

Creamy, buttery, and packed with flavor, this Carnivore Alfredo Sauce is a true indulgence for those following an animal-based diet. Made with heavy cream, butter, and cheese, this sauce is perfect for those moments when you crave something rich and decadent without any carbs.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup heavy cream (choose a full-fat variety for the richest texture)
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese (freshly grated is best for the smoothest sauce)
• 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (optional, for extra creaminess)
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder (optional, for extra flavor)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tbsp beef or chicken broth (optional, for a deeper flavor)

Instructions:

1. Melt the Butter: In a large skillet or saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Allow it to melt completely, swirling the pan occasionally to ensure the butter doesn’t burn. The butter forms the base of the sauce and gives it that smooth, creamy texture.
2. Add the Heavy Cream: Once the butter has melted, slowly pour in the heavy cream. Stir gently to combine the butter and cream, and let the mixture come to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Stir occasionally to prevent the cream from burning at the bottom. Let it simmer for about 3-4 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
3. Add the Cheese: Slowly add the grated Parmesan cheese to the mixture, stirring constantly to ensure it melts evenly and creates a smooth sauce. You can also add the shredded mozzarella cheese at this point if you want the sauce to be extra creamy. Continue to stir until the cheese has fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
4. Season the Sauce: Once the cheese is melted and the sauce has thickened, add garlic powder (if using), salt, and pepper to taste. Start with a pinch of salt and a dash of pepper, then taste and adjust accordingly. If you like a slightly stronger flavor, feel free to add more garlic powder or a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes for heat.
5. Optional Broth for Depth: If you’d like a richer, deeper flavor to your sauce, you can add a splash of beef or chicken broth. Stir it in and let the sauce simmer for an additional 2 minutes. This step is optional but adds a savory, umami richness to the sauce that pairs beautifully with the cheese.
6. Simmer and Thicken: Let the sauce simmer for an additional 5-7 minutes on low heat, stirring occasionally, until it reaches your desired thickness. The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools, so don’t worry if it seems a little thin at first.
7. Serve: Once the sauce has thickened to your liking, remove it from heat and serve it hot. Pour it over grilled meats, like chicken, steak, or even carnivore bread. You can also use it as a dipping sauce or drizzle it over roasted veggies (if allowed in your version of carnivore).

Tips & Variations:

• Cheese Variations: For a different flavor, you can use other hard cheeses like Pecorino Romano, Asiago, or even Gruyère. Just make sure they’re finely grated to ensure a smooth texture.
• For Extra Flavor: Add a tablespoon of heavy butter for extra richness or mix in some cooked bacon crumbles for a smoky touch.
• Thicker Sauce: If you prefer a thicker sauce, let it simmer longer, or add a small splash more cheese to reach your preferred consistency.

This Carnivore Alfredo Sauce is perfect for adding a rich, creamy touch to your carnivore meals. It’s simple to make, and the flavor is indulgent enough to satisfy those carb cravings without breaking your diet. Enjoy the creaminess and savor the richness in every bite!
