Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, until the garlic is fragrant but not browned.
Reduce the heat to low and slowly add the heavy cream, stirring continuously to blend with the butter.
Add in the softened cream cheese and continue stirring until the cream cheese is fully melted and incorporated into the mixture.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, ensuring the cheese fully melts and creates a smooth sauce.
Add lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the sauce, stirring to combine.
Simmer the sauce on low heat for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring often, until the sauce thickens slightly.
Transfer the sauce to a serving bowl and garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
Serve warm with low-carb accompaniments like sliced vegetables, chicken skewers, or keto-friendly bread.
